Leader: Kathy Handel for BBC, contact: 0447289638, khandel@bigpond.net.au
Description: Walk from the Foreshores car park along the Shoreline Walk to Shannons Inlet, then up a steep hill on fire trail. Continue south along an inland grassy track and then off-track to a high viewpoint. Work our way down to Wells Inlet (a walking pole might be useful) and continue to a headland for lunch. Return on fire trail and the Shoreline Walk. The lake shore and headlands are very scenic when the lake is full. If the weather gets too hot, we will have lunch at Wells Inlet and return, cutting the walk by 2km.
