Description
I started this walk at the Abrahams Bosom Beach carpark at the end of Beecroft Parade in Currarong. After crossing Abrahams Bosom Creek and walking on a bit further I took the side track to see the wreck of the SS Merimbula which ran aground there in 1928. Retracing my steps for a short distance I followed the walking trail past Abrahams Head and Honeysuckle Point, which had occasional ocean views, before returning to the main track.
From there I followed the main track east until at map grid reference 56H LG 03088 23839 I followed the sigs towards Gosangs Tunnel and Mermaids Inlet. Gosangs Tunnel leads to a rock shelf above the ocean cliffs, while Mermaids Inlet is a step and narrow inlet just north of Beecroft Head.
Retracing my steps to where I left the main track, I continued along Coomies Walk. Initially this was through light forest, but as I gained elevation the vegetation changed to shoulder-high scrub giving some more nice views towards the ocean. The views from Merimbula Trig (62 meters) were quite good.
From the trig the trail started to head back to the starting point, at first through scrub and then back through light forest. There is an Aboriginal rock shelter on the way back that is well worth a look.
A beautiful walk in a beautiful part of the world. The trail is easy to follow, although some parts were covered with water and needed to be walked around.
