We will meet at the Austimer Train Station at 8:30am
Pass through Austimer and collect your coffee before meeting at the train station .
As there is only one train every 2 hours , we don’t want to miss the 8:50 train to COALCLIFF.
Once we arrive at the Coalcliff train station it is a 850m walk to the start of the trail. Here we have a gentle rise to 300m above sea level and begin to see some of the magical views of the South Coast. The next 6kms are easy walking , the vegetation changes as we progress along the trail and we have found some wonderful VIEWING points for our snack breaks.
The track now continues to climb another 100m in elevation and we are amazed by the beautiful Gymea Lily bushes, some will be flowering, others in their green leaf glory . Keep your eyes open as you may spot the rare NSW Waratah on the track.
Before entering Sublime point, we will show you the home of the Tawny Frog Mouth Owl rock formation and a perfect place to take your HIKING selfie.
Now to the hard part of the trail , we need to descent 5 sets of steep steel ladders before descending 300 metres straight down on some nicely made steps.
40mins after leaving sublime point we will be back at our cars, and our calves will need a good stretch. We encourage you to go for a post hike dip in the Ocean and then join us for a post hike drink at The Headland Bar & Bistro in Austinmer.. ‘Sterlings Shout’
What to expect
