It s about 125km from Cape Naturaliste to Cape Leeuwin – which means five to seven days of clifftops, dramatic dunes, gorgeous Indian Ocean beaches and there s accommodation near enough to avoid camping if you don t want to slum it.

The Great Ocean Walk
AFTER being closed for 15 months due to damage caused by the extreme fires and flooding, most of Namadgi National Park will reopen tomorrow (April 9).
Areas reopening include the Mt Tennant and Australian Alps walking track, Honeysuckle Ridge, including the campground and Booroomba Rocks, Orroral Valley, Nursery Swamp, the Geodesic Dome, the tracking station and the Bimberi Wilderness Area.
Remaining closed, however, will be the Yankee Hat Rock Art Site, the Orroral Campgrounds, and some roads due to the heavy rainfall of late March and ongoing consultation works with local indigenous communities.
