Coolart Homestead Woodlands hike

These photos were taken on December 29, 2010, in the Coolart Homestead Woodlands, 80 km south of Melbourne, in the Somers and Balnarring districts.

My 4 km hike started at the car park at Balnarring Beach, then continued in the Foreshore Reserve, past the Yacht Club and camping area, then along Tulum Beach.

I then took the unsigned track to the footbridge over the Merricks Creek Estuary, entering the Coolart Homestead Woodlands.

I proceeded along signed Loops 2 and 3, passing the Lagoon, crossing Home Creek, and then along the beach, and back to the car park.

There was plenty of action on the beach, with several kiteboards, as the wind was strong and coming across Westernport Bay from the south.

There are four signed Loop Tracks in the Woodlands, 1 to 4, and all offer interesting hiking through coastal bushland.
