25.01.2022 Use the interactive maps below to view the entire length of the Surf Coast Walk and explore the key features along the way. The Surf Coast Walk is 44km from end-to-end but it doesn't have to be done in one go. The great thing about the Walk is that it can also be split into 12 distinctive trails. Each of the trails have an identified start and end point and are usually located at a car park. Below the main map, is a link to each of the 12 trails. If you click on one of the t...rails, you will find a shorter interactive map plus more details of the sights and features of that particular trail. Take a browse through the various trails and decide how far you would like to go... https://www.surfcoastwalk.com.au/walks by @seeshots

19.01.2022 Take some time to explore the rock pools at Point Roadknight. Just a few rules to remember while Rockpool Rambling: if rocks are turned over they must be replaced gently and safely, back into the same position. Creatures rely on rocks for shelter from the elements and predators. Plants may require the micro climate created on the underside of a rock to be viable. creatures should be held and viewed in a container with water if picked up from rock pools. It may be appr...opriate to hold creatures under water using cupped hands for viewing, low to the ground. all creatures must be placed back in the same place they were found after a quick viewing. Creatures often live in family groups, e.g. crabs, or will have sought out that particular spot for shelter, predator protection, or food access. avoid trampling of any plants or animals as much as possible. https://www.surfcoastwalk.com.au/point-roadknight by @cwgxposures
