Even though the trail is relatively short, the coastline is gorgeous and the wildflowers will be blooming, so you’ll want to slow the pace down to take it all in. The magic coves of Little Beach and Waterfall Beach are sure to delight with their white sands and turquoise water and weather permitting you may wish to enjoy a swim.

This walk is a local favourite that closely follows the river, providing constantly changing views of the river, along with a mixture of vineyards, green pastures and eucalypt bushland. It’s a lovely shady walk and there’s plenty of opportunity to spy wildlife that inhabits the river environment including pelicans, ducks and cormorants. In the bush skirting the river Thornbills, Splendid and Red-winged Fairy wrens can often be spotted, as well as a diverse variety of wildflowers.
