Tomaree Head Summit Walk
Worimi Country
Try this walk to the summit of Tomaree Head. Starting at Shoal Bay Road this return walk takes you up to the picnic area and the lookout with great views of the Port Stephens. Let us begin by acknowledging the Worimi people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
