Head towards Boreen Point (which is marked in any road map). The road to Elanda Point leads North from Boreen Point leaving just before you get to the town if heading in from the Bruce Highway.
Route/Trail notes
The walk is well signposted, leaving from the Northern end of the Elanda Point campground. Follow this track for about 2km before heading left towards Kin Kin Creek. About 15-20 minutes later a sign post leads off to Fig Tree Point. Shortly before arriving at Fig Tree Point the track turns towards Harry's Hut. Return via the same track.

A nice easy walk through a variety of grassland and forest. Mossies are bad at Fig tree.

Generally easy walk. Mostly flat, little sandy in some sections. Well shaded through most parts, beautiful walk through the trees and along Kin Kin Creek.
Definitely watch out for the Goannas at Fig Tree Point, they are not scared of humans and will try to scavenge and eat absolutely anything (way too much human interaction and tourists feeding/leaving rubbish). Around the back near the campsite is good for a quick lunch away from the Goannas if there is no-one camped back there, they dont seem to head around there too much.
