Hoddles Track Bushwalk.

Seven Mile Beach

The Hoddles track trail head starts  at the Saddleback mountain lookout. At the start it’s well worth the effort of wondering around to the 3 different lookouts to enjoy views over Seven Mile beach, lake Illawarra and Barren Grounds. They are spectacular.

The start of the trail is not obvious. Head to lookout B, the Western platform lookout. There is a fire trail next to it. Walk down the fire trail towards Barren Grounds  and that leads to the Hoddles Track. Once on the track it is well marked with green posts along the way. With walking around the lookouts the total distance is just under 8km.

The trail is extremely steep in parts so wear the appropriate footwear. Also walking through the rain-forest can be very slippery when wet. So take it easy.

This trail really surprised me with how impressive the views where and the amazing rain-forest it takes you through. Highly recommend checking this out.
