This is the Southernmost point on the Australian Mainland. It covers approximately 50'000 hectares, nearly half of which burned during a fire in 2009. It also suffered from a fire in 2006 and much of the vegetation is only beginning to recover. It is a great place to do a few days hiking, surfing, or lazing. Just don't light any fires! Above is a tree that was burnt during the most recent fire in early 2009 and is regenerating.
View from Mount Oberon, over 700m tall and next to to the sea so spectacular!
Lizard enjoying the view.
Tidal River and wetlands.
Norman Beach, Mount Oberon is on the right of the frame.
Squeaky Beach - so named because of the squeaky sand which contains a high percentage of quartz grains.
