North Cave and Lighthouse
10-20 minutes return, approximately 600m: The track starts 200m from the Rocky Cape lighthouse at the western end of the park. It winds through coastal heath towards the dark gash in the cliff that was once an Aboriginal shelter. Please respect the wishes of the Aboriginal community and do not enter the cave. Informative signs relate to the history of this special place. Nearby a platform offering panoramic coastal views has been built. Once back at the start of the track, continue up to the lighthouse for additional views.
South Cave
10-20 minutes return, approximately 200m: From the car park at Burgess Cove the track leads to a large cave almost filled with shells, bones and other remains resulting from thousands of years of Aboriginal occupation. Please respect the wishes of the Aboriginal community and do not enter the cave. Interpretive signs in the area will tell you more of the story.
Banksia Grove/Caves Circuit
Up to 1 hour return, approximately 1.6km: A clearly defined track near the Sisters Beach boat ramp climbs into the heath-covered hills. You soon reach Banksia Grove, an extensive stand of saw banksias with spectacularly large cylindrical flowers. When these ripen they develop seed capsules along the drying flowers. These capsules give mature flowers the face-like features which author May Gibbs fictionalised as her 'bad banksia men'.
From Banksia Grove take the link track towards the coast. Here you'll find an Aboriginal shelter, Lee Archer Cave, set dramatically above the rocky shore. A platform allows viewing of the cave while protecting midden material. Please keep to this platform.
After returning to the junction, climb steeply down to Wet Cave. Towards the rear of this aptly named cave you will often find a pool of water. From the cave the track drops down to the coast. A rock-hop of 100m or so leads back to the Sisters Beach boat ramp.
Postmans Track
1 hour one way; 2 1/2 hours return, 2.1km one way: Named after the route used for horseback postal deliveries early this century, this track circles the easternmost section of the park, near Sisters Beach. Leaving from the roadside near Lake Llewellyn, the signposted track climbs east into the wooded hills known as the Two Sisters, making a wide sweep of them before reaching the cliffs above Walkers Cove. The track returns to the eastern end of Sisters Beach. It is a comfortable 1 - 1 1/2 hour walk if cars are left at each end. Alternatively continue along the beach until you reach the road and return to your starting point, making a 2 - 2 1/2 hour circuit.
Rocky Cape Circuit
2 1/2 hours return, approximately 10km: This walk from the pinmatik/Rocky Cape area into the heath-covered hills offers extensive coastal views, particularly from the side track to Tinkers Lookout (291m). The track is surrounded by a variety of flowering plants and shrubs. From spring to summer are spectacular displays of Christmas bells, often in the company of boronia, tea tree, heath and pea-flowered shrubs. To complete the circuit, take a left turn just after the lookout and follow Blandfordia Spur towards the coast. Access to the coast is via the side track to Cathedral Rock. Return inland via Postmans Pass.
Inland Track
3 1/2 to 4 hours one way, approximately 15km: This track follows the Rocky Cape circuit track to Postmans Pass, then continues inland over the Sisters Hills (almost 300m high) before descending to Sisters Beach. There are magnificent views down to the coast and inland. The whole track is almost 15 km from start to finish and can be completed in less than 4 hours. However, with side tracks leading to Doone Falls, Broadview Hills and Anniversary Bay, there are plenty of ways of taking a half a day or longer to complete the walk. If walked from the Sisters Beach end, ascend from near the boat ramp into Sisters Hills and follow the track towards pinmatik/Rocky Cape. Leave a car at either end, or arrange to be picked up where you finish.
Coastal Route
3 1/2 to 4 hours one way: This is a rugged coastal alternative to the Inland Track. Follow the Rocky Cape circuit up to Postmans Pass then towards Cathedral Rocks, which can be visited as a short side trip. Continue along the very rocky coast to Anniversary Bay. Follow the beach to its eastern end where the track can be picked up again. Take the track over the headland and hills to Banksia Grove then down to Sisters Beach. (You can visit Lee Archer and Wet Caves as an interesting side-trip from Banksia Grove before returning to Sisters Beach.) If coming from the Sisters Beach end, climb up to Banksia Grove before descending to Anniversary Bay. Follow the rocky coastal track from the end of the bay past the Cathedral Rocks turn-off and on towards pinmatik/Rocky Cape. The walk can be made longer by taking side trips. Leave a car at either end, or arrange to be picked up where you finish.
