Overview
Curra Moors Loop explores the park's eastern plateau between Garie Road and the coast. The track crosses open heath, sandstone outcrops and pockets of woodland with views toward the Tasman Sea.
Grade 4 means some steep sections, uneven footing and a full half-day commitment. Fit walkers are rewarded with solitude and wide horizons.
Best time to go
Late winter through spring (August–November) brings spectacular wildflowers — banksias, wattles and heath blooms across Curra Moors.
Summer days are hot on exposed heath. Start early, carry extra water, and avoid the loop in high fire-danger weather.
