Grass Point – 1 hr 30 min Return / Fluted Cape – 2 hr 30 min Return
Beginning at the Adventure Point entrance to the National Park, the Grass Point walk is a well-formed track that is well-suited to families and novice bushwalkers. The walk is easy and mostly flat, with only a few small changes in elevation. This scenic route provides beautiful coastal views most of the way.
The Fluted Cape walk begins at the same point at the Grass Point walk, and follows the same course until the open grasslands at Penguin Island, at which point the Fluted Cape Circuit sign should be followed. This walk is more difficult than the Grass Point walk, with some steep climbs.

Enjoy an easy and pleasant walk along the foreshore between Sheepwash Bay and Alonnah. The track was the main link from Sheepwash Bay to Alonnah in the early years of settlement. The walk follows the old rock-walled carriageway between the two previous jetty sites, meandering through coastal bush.
Keep an eye out for remnants of early settlers’ occupation, including a sawyers’ camp and several piles of stones near Sheepwash Creek. Logs from Bruny Island were prepared in the bush for barging to the windjammers for export to the UK and South Africa.

Time: Luggaboine Circuit 1.5 hours; Labillardiere Peninsula Circuit 5 hours
Distance: Luggaboine Circuit 4 km; Labillardiere Peninsula Circuit 15 km
This amazing coastal walk can be done as a short loop or as an all-day walk (hot tip: walk the circuit clockwise for kinder terrain and better views). From the western side of the peninsula, gaze out towards the southern ranges. Along the eastern side, the track hugs the coastline and includes Hopwood, Butlers and Jetty beaches, with views of the d’Entrecasteaux Channel.
The heathland and eucalpyt forest contains flowers year round, attracting a variety of birds. In the warmer months, it’s not uncommon to see snakes soaking up the sun on the track, so wear gaiters or long pants.
