WEST HEAD WILDS- SUNDAY FEBRUARY 1, 2026
Join us on a day of rich bushland, coastal views, and hidden gems. The trail winds through lush forest and past vantage points like Birnie Lookout, providing sweeping views over Pittwater. A highlight of the hike is the Lovett Bay swimming hole, a serene spot perfect for a refreshing dip. The trail also passes Elvina Waterfalls, a multi-tiered cascade that flows into Lovatts Pool, adding a tranquil soundtrack to the journey. Wildlife sightings, including wallabies, are common, and trail’s natural beauty is complemented by historical touches.
