Mainly Grade 3, but we will venture off track to visit some interesting (not often seen) POIs. We will start at the Abrahams Bosom car park and make our way up to Merimbula Trig before heading on to Beecroft Head.  From here we’ll work down to the base of Old Man’s Hat and beyond (pretty scratchy for the first 50m).  Very spectacular!!!  (you’ll need to be confident rock scrambling.)  We’ll then work our way south and scramble down into Moore’s Inlet/Eves Ravine so we can admire where we’ve been.  If time permits, we will continue south, traversing past three ravines before heading back to the cars. Joint walk with Shoalhaven Bushwalkers.

Sit, swim, chat, relax before returning the via same route.

Best wear versatile sandals which will give you confidence on rocks and greenweed and which won’t suffer ill-effects from salt water.If intending to swim bring swimwear, and sun cream. There are changing sheds/toilets around 400 metres from the swim site.
