Tomaree Peninsula


We worked off breakfast one morning by experiencing one of the most beautiful walks in the Port, Tomaree Headland. From bottom to top took us around one and a half hours. When we reached the summit we were rewarded with spectacular views of the stunning coastline. We could see the Heads, Zenith, Box and Wreck Beaches (which border the ocean), and Shoal Bay the opposite side. There was also a lookout over the ocean towards Fingal Spit, the lighthouse and the nature reserves. Looking back towards and beyond Shoal Bay we were also able to make out Soldiers Point. The weather was just perfect and we could see for miles.





Returning to the bottom we were startled by our first sighting of a (huge!) Lace Monitor Lizard - a magnificent creature - he/she meandered off uninterested in us and a few yards ahead we encountered a second Goanna - this time much smaller but more inquisitive! Tried to capture them both on camera but they were remarkably well camaflouged......see if you can spot the smaller one amongst the leaf debris!
