After passing through a forest of coastal banksia and Port Jackson Pines the group paused to view the concrete Nissen Hut used by the Australian Air Force during World War II.

Walkers found many scenic outlooks along the route, some southward with Mt Dromedary on the far horizon, others to the north showing the expansive ocean and rocky shoreline.

Nudies and Nuns beaches were two that the hikers traversed as well as passing Jimmy's Island on their way to Rosedale Beach.

After investigating the Nun's Retreat the group turned to retrace their steps on the return journey.
