This is a wonderful spring hike that combines some of our best coastal views and the amazing wartime history of the area.

This 18 km track has a few smaller hills to get the heart going but no major climbs and will involve a short beach walk if the tide is low.
We will meet and start off from the Police Point Shire Carpark and then head down to the London Bridge Lookout Point to enjoy this very photogenic spot.

Then we will slowly head back up the ridge and start the walk towards Fort Nepean. There are a lot of scenic spots along the way with a few unique historic sites to explore including the amazing, if not a little spooky Quarantine Station. Then following a short break at the fort we will head back via the old firing ranges and back to the starting point.
