ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION:
We follow the Main Creek Trail from the car park to Bushrangers Bay.  The eucalypt forest gives way to shady thickets of coastal banksia and then to an isolated sandy beach at Bushrangers Bay.  From there we follow the trail to Cape Schanck.  We’ll have lunch near the 1850s Lighthouse.  After lunch, we return the same way and then hopefully, time permitting, have coffee and cake at Flinders Bakehouse.
