This is certainly a walk of two halves. The first day was a stroll, merely 2 1/2 hours. The second day rivalled some walks I've done in Tasmania's central highlands. Mind you, it was 35 degrees; we ran out of money (and therefore water); a shoulder strap on my pack broke and my shoes were causing me the most intense pain. So maybe it isn't as bad as I thought it was. This all depends on which way you do it. We thought South to North is the most logical way, as the trains to and from Otford are sporadic at best and the ferry from Bundeena goes on the hour until 7pm. We thought it would be better to face a maximum hour wait for the ferry rather than 3 or overnight for the train. This is obviously not what the Nat. parks and wildlife service thinks. It is so poorly signposted from South to North that we lost the track on at least 7-8 occasions, whereas there are always signs for the southbound walkers. The main area of confusion is on Garie beach. The path halfway along will only take you to Garie YHA. Continue up to the end of the beach and don't follow the obvious track near the precipice. The track is just left of middle as you look up at the headland. We ended up walking up right near the edge and very nearly falling in excess of 10 metres to the rocks below before realising the track was a further 100 m inland. I found this part of the walk extremely frustrating and largely avoidable with a few simple signs. Get your act together parks and wildlife. Apart from this it is a fairly beautiful walk that experienced and well equipped walkers would find enjoyable and not too difficult. Reminder to take plenty of money as you will find it difficult looking at all the cool water bottles in the fridge of the kiosks at Garie and Watamolla on a 35 deg C day if you only have a handful of silver as we did!
