16km return walking track. Start and finish point are the same. Allow 6hrs walking time. Difficulty - hard.
A sandy hike through fragrant eucalypt forest and coastal heathland, showcasing flowers along the track in springtime. Keep a look out for the forested
swamp on top of the dune ridge, where striped marshfrogs and wallum sedgefrogs emerge at nightfall.
As you walk, see if you can spot a series of telegraph posts, relics of the old telegraph line built in the 1890s to service the
Cape Moreton Lighthouse. Abandoned in 1952, relics can still be found along
Bulwer–
North Point Road and Telegraph Road.
