Bayview Conservation Area (Kidd Street Entrance)

Multiple trails that crisscross the area. Includes the Birdcage Trail, an easy 1900m walk that is one of the many trails through the Bayview Conservation Area. Glimpses of the ever-growing suburbia nearby, the track winds through natural bushland with many native grass trees. Passes the "birdcage" itself, a quirky work of imagination.
As of July, 2025, the area was heavily battered by "Alfred" and next to it commenced a huge housing development. Likely, there will be another trailhead/ access in years to come.

Curtis Island

This walk takes you along the eastern coastline of Curtis Island, starting from South End. There are two established camp sites along the eastern coast (Turtle St - about 15km, and Joey Lees - about 29km), and another at the northern end (Yellow Patch). This is a fairly exposed walk, along the beach in some areas and along the top of the headland in others. It would be much too hot in summer. The views are pretty spectacular the whole way and it is not busy at all - we walked on a long weekend and met one group of 4WD'ers, and no other walkers. There are no facilities along the way- you will need to bring all of your own water.

Ganoonga Noonga Lookout

Enjoy a short, steep climb to panoramic views over the eastern lowlands and mountain ranges to the west.
Pass through grassy, open woodland with bloodwood trees and rusty gums on this steep lookout walk. With sensational views over the surrounding coastal lowlands, the steep trip is well worth the effort—just make sure you bring your camera!
From the vantage point 60m above sea level, you can view the Ganoonga Noonga (low grounds) of swamps and heath that cover the parallel dunes below.
Enjoy sweeping vistas of Munro Range to the west, and Bray Hills and Bustard Bay to the north. Keen eyes might also spy Bustard Head Lighthouse on the rocky headlands to the north.
