Walking in and around Tuross Head

There are a wealth of walks available in the village area. One of our great treasures is the cycleway that now allows you to explore from one end of the village to the other.

There are beach walks that are perfect and different every time you take one and now the Community is starting to open up its Reserves with such treats as Chatham park.

Coming will be a map of walks that you can take through our Public Reserves - in the meantime start with a visit to Chatham Park

....and please remember that there are wheelchairs and walking frames available for loan in the village for use on the cycleway and the beach

 

Here is a Map of some Tuross Walks

 

 

Tuross Head to Bingie to Congo
Bingie Dreaming Track

From Tuross Head to Congo Headland or halfway to Bingie.

Starting at Congo The Bingie Dreaming Track follows part of the dreaming track used by the Brinja-Yuin people. It has some great vantage points for whale watching and passes through a variety of plant communities from eucalyptus forests to heath lands.

In spring wildflowers are at their colourful best and bird enthusiasts will be well rewarded with a variety of species at any time of the year. This coastal walk includes some sections along sandy beaches.

Highlights are the spectacular views of beaches, headlands and islands and the shades of ochre and rust in the rocks around Bingie Headland. Plenty of picturesque and secluded places to stop and swim.

A well deserved end point for refreshments are the cafes and restaurants at the end of the Tuross cycleway along Nelson Parade, Tuross Head.

Take a map and be aware the inland track can become overgrown at times. For a shorter walk you may wish to start or turn around at Merringo or do a car shuffle at either end.

Length: 16km one way (do a car shuffle) from Congo to cafes at Tuross Head, or 8km one way and 16km return from Congo Headland to Bingie Bingie Point.

Time: 6 hours inlcuding a few breaks
Grade: Moderate

The Bingie Residents Association, who created the Dreaming Track from Congo to Bingie, extended this marvelous walking track to Tuross Head.

The route comes past the sewerage depot tyat attracts an incredible crossection of birdlife to then continue along the
pipeline and Telecom easements to Coila Lake and around the
north-east edge of the lake to Coila Beach.

When Coila Lake is too high an alternative route will follow the sea shore.
