Monday 16/03/2020 North Head Circuit
Murramarang National Park, NSW
Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos), Sue Davies (Report)
We were on a short break to the South Coast of NSW to try to assist with the local economic recovery following the disastrous bushfire season which devastated the bush, wildlife and local communities during our past summer.
We have many fond memories of camping at the North Head with friends when our children were young. Arriving again in 2020 we were very happy to find this section of the bush untouched by the fires. The campground is set in a particularly beautiful grove of large spotted gums dotted with huge cycads and supporting abundant wildlife.

Today we walked the short track to the lookout, about 300m from the campground where we enjoyed uninterrupted views of the stunning coastline. The platform here was where Steve used to bring the children with their sleeping bags to lay down for some star gazing. Magical!
Continuing on we headed through the bush to Honeysuckle Bay and Oaky Beach. After the horrific summer of fires and the devastating loss of wildlife we savoured walking through this precious bush like never before. There is so much we take for granted, we are determined not to fall into that trap again.
