| Mount Bleak |
It is amazing how, in the space of 10 years, the length of the walk and
hills on the stretch of track along the west coast of Labillardiere Peninsula
have been forgotten. Our memory was of a walk along a heathy scrubland to the
beach at the pointy end opposite Partridge Island. As a consequence the tree
covered hill, Mount Bleak, came as a surprise. Butlers Beach was longer than
expected and the track along Great Taylors Bay became tiring. Nevertheless, we got around in 6 hours
including lunch.

There is a fish farm in the bay and the constant irritating noise,
possibly from a tug like boat, was a big negative. It doesn’t seem right that they are allowed
close to the coast and it is hoped that one day soon they will all be forced to
locate out in the ocean.
The walk is 18k and takes about 6 hours
