Crowdy Bay National Park was just over an hour’s drive away from our base in Forster.

We started our walk from the car park at Diamond Head campground and followed the Diamond Head Loop Track (5km). The track went across the headland and then down to the coast – where there was a view of Rock Arch.

Continuing around the loop, we then took a side track to Kylies Beach and back to the loop again (1.5km return).

Finally, after arriving back at Diamond Head campground, we rounded off the day with a walk along the Mermaid Lookout Track (2km return).
