4WD to Whitewater Wall, Cape Toureville & Sleepy Bay at Freycinet NP

The first stop was Cape Toureville and the beautiful walk that follows the headland.  The walk is boarded along the cliff face and you get great views out over Lemon Rock, Sleepy Bay and Wineglass Bay, not to mention a couple of other granite peaks.  There is a lighthouse at Cape Toureville but it is rather less spectacular than the scenery and really not worth a visit.  The Freycinet National Park is full of granite peaks that meet the ocean in places and beautiful beaches in numerous bays along the coastline…a very pretty place to visit.

Next was the 4WD track through to Whitewater Wall and Bluestone Bay, which is accessed 500m from the Capre Toureville parking area.  The track itself was relatively easy other than a few washouts that needed care.  The track itself is only a few klms long so the trip to the landmarks will not take you long.  Whitewater Wall was ordinary and Bluestone Bay was pretty but not awesome.  On the return trip we followed the 4WD track out on a different path which comes out close to the Sleepy Bay parking area.  It is slightly longer but a good alternative.

Sleepy Bay was our next stop and is a must see spot.  Your follow a walk trail for about 750m before you drop down to a beautiful bay which overlooks many granite peaks in both directions.  You can have some fun here rock hopping or just sat on a rock admiring natures beauty at its best.  Along the walk you get to look over pristine coloured water and beautiful granite rock formations from up above.  The coastal vegetation which covers this walk is also an assortment of pretty ferns and trees and is part of the glowing experience you take from visiting here. 

Have a look at the photos and make sure that your visit to Freycinet National Park includes Sleepy Bay and with more time Cape Toureville.

Cape Toureville is only a short walk and will only take you 15 mins, Sleepy Bay…well you could spend hours here with the family.
