It was a cooler morning after yesterday’s heat and as a storm had rolled through it had cleared the air. So in pleasant conditions, we returned to Freycinet National Park for the classic Wineglass Bay circuit. Soon after we left the car we heard a voice “Hi Steve and Sue, what walk are you doing today?”  It was the lovely young woman we had met yesterday on our way down from Mount Amos who wasn’t able to make it to the top. It was a pleasant surprise to see her again.

Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies

We departed Darby Beach Carpark at 9:40am, appreciative of it being heavily overcast but for the first time in many days not windy or raining. We had been to Darby Beach on the Wednesday but the weather to too unpleasant for us to be tempted to start out. 

The Tongue Point Track gradually climbs from the carpark to provide a good view of the meanders of “Darby” Creek to the east as it passes through thick heath. After climbing about 90m you pass through a saddle to catch your first glimpse of Tongue Point, immediately you realise this is going to be a very scenic walk.
