ABOUT BARWON HEADS BLUFF
The Bluff is one of the Bellarine's most iconic spots - where the Barwon River meets the ocean. This clifftop walk takes in sweeping views over the river mouth, the ocean, and Lake Connewarre wetlands. Along the way we’ll look for sea birds, enjoy the coastal vegetation, and stop at scenic lookouts. It’s a relaxed, social walk with plenty of photo opportunities and fresh sea air. Note: there is a steep set of stairs up to the clifftop.  We will take breaks as needed.

FOOD + CUPPAS
After the walk, we’ll have a cuppa on the grass near the car park. I’ll bring the tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

 WHAT TO BRING

• Water: at least 1L (more if it’s hot)
• Clothes: comfy, with layers you can add/remove
• Shoes: any comfortable shoes with laces

CARPOOLING
Carpooling is a great way to save car park space, cut down our environmental footprint, and travel with new friends. Many of us come from similar areas, so please drop a comment in the chat if you can offer a lift or need one.  It's great to offer a small contribution (or even a coffee) to your driver.
