If you like secluded coves, pebble-strewn beaches and square-jawed rock platforms, plus ocean vistas and flowering heathland, then this is a walk for you. We will do a variation of walk of a walk we've done before, a circuit from Razorback Lookout, south of Evans Head, through heathland and down to a hidden coastline where we can fossick, swim and sit. There will be a short, steep climb from the final beach to secluded bushland with a million-dollar ocean view before we reach Razorback Lookout and rejoin our vehicles. As a forest bathing walk, we will engage in nature connection activities and spend time walking in silence and chatting over lunch. Be prepared to get wet with an activity in the water and swimming time for those who wish to. The total walk is 7 km and about 4+ hours to complete. Grade 3 with the final steep ascent and walking along a stony beach, so steadiness on your feet is required. If it is hot, we cool down with shaded pandanus and ocean swim. For those who wish, we will carpool from the BP station at the bottom of Bruxner Highway and travel to Evans Head from there. Enquires to David david@davidroland.com.au. I won’t be leading a walk in March because I will be hiking in NZ.

Our first forest bathing hike for the year will take us to one of our favourite locations – Unicorn Falls and creek in Mount Jerusalem National Park. This is an off-track walk that follows the creek from the falls to a turnaround point where we will stop for a swim and lunch by two beautiful swimming holes, where few people go. Be prepared for rock hopping and walking/swimming through water on the way back. I love this walk for its sensory variety, out-of-this-world splendour and the getting wet part! We will spend time walking in silence with a few nature connection activities and chatting over lunch with laughter on the way back as we plunge ourselves into waterholes. Walk time is only 1 – 1.5 hours each way but rated Grade 4 with the rock hopping and the off-track nature. Details David david@davidroland.com.au
