The final day’s walk is somewhat more leisurely, but no less spectacular and beautiful. The trail passes through a diversity of habitats, from ‘karst’ cave systems to recovering woodlands and freshwater lakes. From Kelly Hill Caves, a relatively short walk through sugar gum woodland, rich with orchids and fungi in the wetter months, brings the trail to the stunning Wilderness and Grassdale Lagoons, where birdwatchers will be rewarded with sightings of local and visiting woodland and wading birds.
Wander through Cape Bouguer Wilderness Protection Area before concluding your walk by wading across the shallow waters of South West River where it flows into Hanson Bay.
