Beautiful area to visit. The red hands cave was a little disappointing and hard to pick out without zooming into a photo. Great picnic area with proper toilets. Other areas nearby had great aboriginal engravings. Worth the visit.

If you start the trail anti-clock wise, we will come across some aboriginal art , and the first half of the trail is quite dry, just like walking on a rough stony path. Once you finish the first half and hit the resolute beach, the trail becomes a proper bush walk, up and down, you will have to make your way through some small and big stones. The views of resolute beach and west head beach are lovely. You can take a de route to the beaches for a little swim. Finally, at the last stretch, you hit the west head lookout which has an amazing view of the palm beach. Overall, a great one for beginners. Make sure to carry plenty water as there are no water filling stations neither at the start nor within the trail.

I was so excited to see the beach in the middle of the walk. The area was good for walking and it was a bit stable for the kids as well. The ticket for $8 for the day. Parking Toilet was clean
