regeneration self guided walk

beach walk links Myall Beach and Cape Tribulation Beach
. Start from the car park at Kulki and follow the signposted track over the ridge of the Cape Trib headland, which drops down onto Myall Beach. The view from this southern side of the cape is spectacular.
Climbing Mt Sorrow
This is a serious undertaking. It is a marked trail and takes the average person about 3 hours to reach the lookout. Allow another two hours for the descent. You should take at least 2 litres of water and start early. Just north of the turn off to Kulki, is a sign hidden in the bush which marks the beginning of the trail.
