It was a wonderful ride, with a crew that welcomed tourists like me, recommending that I sit on the left side of the boat to get the best pictures.

Careful on the green rocks -- they are usually slippery. There are also leeches around this area, especially after heavy rain -- read the book for more advice.

From the Woy Woy Road walk through the bush (the trail is not very easy to follow) by moving along the series of rock ledges. This leads to the very edge of the outcrop with a fantastic vista over Woy Woy and the surrounding ocean. Near this furthest edge are some of the best carvings. Read more about Aboriginal history in The Great North Walk Companion book or watch the video.
