Panoramic view of Copacabana Beach from the dune path
This is a beautiful little walk, it is dog friendly and has many nice cafes nearby in Copacabana. The waves at the beach here quite large. This is flat and good for beginners.

A picture book

A picture book for little walkers

The Bush Wee is my read aloud picture book for children aged 2 to 7. A little explorer sets off on a big walk in the Central Coast bush, then realises there is no toilet for miles. Along the way it teaches real bush skills, like which soft leaves make good toilet paper.
