Starting from the car park off Windy Harbour Road, Windy Harbour, this return walk takes you to the Mount Chudalup Lookout and back. At the end of the trail surrounded by sedges, on the enormous granite rising above the said karri trees, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of D'Entrecastreaux National Park, the coastal area and sand dunes that are formed by the continuous Southern Ocean winds. There is a picnic area and a bathroom stall. Unfortunately, no pets are allowed. You might want to be cautious about the edges of the cliff as well. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
