It is perfect for families looking to enjoy the great outdoors, taking about one and a half to two hours to complete.

The Tomaree Coastal Walk is ideal for those seeking a longer trek as the scenic 27 km trail showcases beautiful coastal landscapes and diverse ecosystems.

Walkers can also learn about Australia’s military past from the fascinating WWII gun emplacements sites located along the Fort Tomaree walk.

“The help desk is able to inform the general public on the latest updates on the future of Tomaree Lodge, which aims to enhance visitor experiences while preserving the natural beauty of the area,” President of the Heritage Group Peter Clough said.

“It will serve as a fantastic accommodation option for those wishing to explore Tomaree National Park further.

“Our helpdesk volunteers will also provide tips on navigating Tomaree National Park safely and responsibly.”

In addition to this year’s new signage and headland area improvements, a new outdoor shower was installed adjacent to the amenities block near the entry to the lodge site.

The group has also been in consultation with the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) to acquire new signage and an historic interpretation for each of the World War II military installations.

In addition to this, a new book entitled “Paradise Interrupted”, authored by local historian and archivist Judy Washington, is due to be launched at an event at the Shoal Bay Country Club on 14 October.
