Wow, the climb seems very challenging. Will keep this for future. Thanks for the info.

[tankee]

actually not that challenging.


There are stairs and some short ladder, the rest is a slow walk up a gentle slope. View is fantastic !

We also stay in a place at the south coast, but it is now closed. We used this place to explore the coast and do whale watching. There was a small zoo where we were allow to hug a wombat and take photo with it, instead of the usual Koala bear.
