View Larger Map

We shall meet at the Orapiu Wharf carpark. Carpoolers please meet at the Ostend Carpool site at 3pm.

This walk will be hosted by Sharon Adrichem who has been involved with weed control in the area and who will also show us what is being planned for the Orapiu Lodge property. We will mostly follow a paper road, Hunterville Road and make our way to Pearl Bay. Then we will return to the main road, crossing a section of private land, and return to Orapiu. Please note that you can't complet this loop without prior permission from the landowner(s). We'll explore the beach at Orapiu Bay and have a look at the proposals for the Lodge property. Part of the reason for this walk is to draw attention to this development at the far end of the island. Submissions for or against the development are due on the 7th June.
