This walk was led by Brian Mercer and numbered 15 participants including one visitor.
The convoy of four cars travelled up the Durras Road then branched off on to the dirt road to North Head (a road much degraded).
From there the walkers took a coastal track at about 9am, heading for Honeysuckle and Oaky beaches.
Brian gave the group the interesting experience of “Forest Bathing”, (in Japanese “Shinrin Yoku”); for the first 10 minutes walking at a slow pace, observing nature on right and left, in absolute silence.
This took participants to the magnificent lookout between North Head and Honeysuckle Beach.
The coastal track then re-joined the road between North Head and Durras where the direction of North Head was taken.
The walk continued along the beach and rock platform from North Head and arrived at the rock pool which had been designated for an optional swim.
Because of the high seas, the swim was cancelled and the group stopped for lunch.
The walk took about three hours and covered a distance of approximately nine kilometres. It was an excellent walk in ideal conditions.
