Myself and a group of friends did the Bluestone Bay walk on Tuesday and what a wonderful walk it is. The wildflowers were amazing and the coastal views spectacular and a walk we all recommend, however our Parks department does not seem to encourage the public to do this walk. Firstly the Bluestone Bay sign is not visible from Cape Tourville road but about 200 metres along the Bluestone Bay road itself – photo attached – and as you can see is in the new blue corporate signage used by Parks. Once you drive the 2.3KM to the end of the road – we drove a Subaru Forester with no problems – it is virtually impossible to find the start of the walk – no signs whatever – we bush bashed down the gully and up the other side until we found the well formed track. If you walk up the dry creek bed the GPS to find the start of the track is S42.10417 E148.32997.
It is sad that Parks do not open this walk up to the public in a better way, after all it is a NP for the people – I am told that the track may well be leased out to commercial operators hence the Parks reluctance to publicise
