About the Walking Track

From the bus stop, follow the Memorial Path to the Meeting Place and Visitor Centre before walking through the carpark to the Yena Trail. Follow the Yena Trail and Banks-Solander Walk to Cape Baily Track. Head south to the Whale Track and follow this track down to Cape Solander Drive. After a detour to the Whale Watch, return and follow the boardwalk to Tabbigai Gap then continue south to Cape Baily Lighthouse. Leave the fire trail after 140 metres and follow the track markers across the large rock shelf to Potter Point carpark. Head north along the narrow bitumen lane (beware of cars) to Sir Joseph Banks Drive and the bus stop on Captain Cook Drive
Magnificent coastal views, spring wildflowers, golden wind-carved sandstone and remains of the Depression era cliff-dwellers make this a walk to remember. Diversions to the Banks-Solander Wildflower Walk and the Whale Watching platform (May-Nov) add to the enjoyment.
