The very tip of North Stradbroke Island is gorgeous with fantastic views. We will catch the ferry over to Dunwich then get the bus out to Amity Point. We will walk around a few streets to get access to the beach. It is then a long beach walk along the northern edge of North Stradbroke Island. First along Flinders Beach, then Cylinder Beach, Deadman’s Beach around the point to Frenchman’s Beach and up the stairs to Point Lookout.  We will do the walk around the Gorge Walk. We will then catch the bus back to Dunwich at about 4:20 pm. You need to bring your own morning tea and lunch. It is expected to be warm and sunny so bring all your usual daywalk stuff. (Plus raincoats).  May I suggest you wear hats, long sleeves and long pants to minimise the chance of sunburn.

Please note, the water level will still be highish when we start at Amity so we will have a longish morning tea at Amity at 10 ish, so the tide should be going out by the time we start walking and it will be starting to rise at the end of the walk..
