Turn sharp right: From the intersection, this walk heads directly away from the lake, towards the slight clearing on the left and past the white dot on the tree. The track meanders through the melaleuca for a short time to open out onto a car park, with a signpost pointing back to ‘Wallagoot Lake’[1].
Turn left: From the middle of the carpark, this walk follows the sign to ‘Wallagoot Beach’[2] away from the carpark (not the ‘Wallagoot Lake’ sign next to the picnic table). The wide track soon comes to a timber boardwak and a three way intersection maked with a ‘Hobart Beach camp’ sign[3] point back to the carpark. From this intersection the walk heads along the timber boardwalk following the ‘Ocean Beaches’ sign[4]. The boardwalk soon end and the track winds through the melaleuca to come to a three way intersection marked with a ‘Parking Area’ sign[5] pointing back along the track.
