Booti walking track — Attraction in Booti Booti

The Booti Hill and Wallis Lake walking track touches both the ocean and the shores of Wallis Lake. Bring your swimmers and make a day walk of it with beautiful views from the headland and plenty of wildlife to keep the camera active.

Start at Ruins campground and travel clockwise, so the hardest part is knocked off early. Walk out to the stunning Seven Mile Beach and look for the signposted track – this climbs up the northern side of Booti Hill through twisted eucalypts. There are rest spots along the way, and a small opening with a scenic view of Seagull Point right before you enter some refreshing rainforest.

Eventually the track emerges onto the ridge-crest above Lindemans Cove and joins a fire trail that leads to a small clearing. Go straight ahead for Elizabeth Beach and a terrific opportunity for an ocean dip. If it’s winter, you might even spot a migrating whale. There are also tables and a barbecue just 100m along the trail, so don’t forget the picnic.

Back on the main walking track, branching west, cross The Lakes Way for a change of pace. The final 3.5km of the loop follow the shore of Wallis Lake, with striking lichens and graceful waterbirds aplenty.

Soon you’ll reach a grassy clearing with some marked graves. The Gogerly family are buried here; pioneer fishers once owned the land of the...

All good a pretty straightforward. Just be aware of the fact, that Google doesn't have a right track mapped in. When you exit the campsite on the beach, do not go up the road, but you need to go straight across the road towards the depot point and you will see the way point forward (see pictures below) So there is no path back to Elizabeth Beach through the Bush, but you need to go to sunset point first, around the lake and then to Elizabeth's.

So the whole walk goes so.ething like this: Elizabeth Beach, hike through the bush to a long sandy beach. 100 m on the beach and then left to the campground. Through the campground to the main road. Across to depo point, through the meadow around the lake and back to Elizabeth's.

Walk is so so. One of the better ones in Australia, but hands down one of the worst I have done anywhere...

Beautiful location. Nice little track that takes you from Elizabeth Beach to the Bay on the other side of the headland. It was only 1.2km and easy going enough for young kids to handle. There was an offshoot track that started a hundred or so metres in that was about 2.5kms, but we didn't choose that route. Next time. The only small thing I didn't love was it wasn't a circular track, so you had to walk back the way you came. Apart from that, it was a great way to start the morning before heading off to any of the nearby beaches. Elizabeth, boomerang and Bluey's Beach,...
