Sightseeing
One of the easier walks on the island & one of the most likely to see Koala's. The walk leads up to the Word War 2 gun emplacements & the two forts, passing the remains of the living quarters, ammunition stores etc. There are many beautiful views of various bays along the way to the Forts.

Parks & Nature
From the start of the Fort's walk, take the bitumen road down to Radical Bay.
Along the way you pass Arthur Bay & Florence Bay which are suitable for swimming & snorkelling.
Radical Bay is a long walk so make sure you take water & when you arrive, enjoy the beauty of this amazing location.
The road is only to be attempted by an experienced 4 wheel driver as the pot holes are enormous, so if in doubt, walk down.
