Day two is all about the sunrise and more hiking.

You will awake to watch the sunrise and enjoy a relaxing morning of Yoga/Pilates and a few gentle stretches and some mindfulness on the beach followed by a small dip. After a morning of activity, you will return to camp for a nourishing breakfast, some brewed teas and coffees. 

The hike today will consist of a small beach walk to the Big Hill rainforest. Starting at the picnic area by the beach the short loop trail winds around the top of the headland. The views are amazing along the coastline and the shores of the rocky headlands. During the whale watching season (May- October), you will be able to see some active marine life. 

Before we take off on the hike, we will talk to an Elder to learn about the area and its cultural links and use. The Aboriginal cultural heritage in both the Limeburner and Goolawah National parks dates back thousands of years. 

Lunch will be served after the hike at the end of the loop back to the picnic area before walking along the beach of Big Hill back to the camp for some free time or perhaps a massage.

Later in the afternoon, we will head to the nearby Racecourse Headland, to view the next day of our trek or the Crescent Head lookout to watch the sunset with some wine and cheese (weather dependent).

We will then return to camp for our last campfire dinner before another sleepy night under the stars.

Day three, you will wake to find that positive energy from our sunrise and a beach walk, again followed by some morning stretches and creating that phosphorescence by dipping into the ocean for a swim before breakfast. 

You will then return from our final breakfast and a camp pack up. Your bags will be collected and we will head off on our final walk from Racecourse Headland along the Goolawah National Park stretch of beachfront right through to Crescent Head. This last day of walking will be so satisfying, completing the 34km of trails and walking right into our final destination with the final climb up to Little Nobby for that group photo before relaxing at the local pub.

After lunch, you will board the supplied transportation to Settlement Point Ferry back in Port Macquarie, where it all began and celebrate your positive energy awe.
