The Sugarloaf

Historical landmark

👍👍 I love this place! Each time we walk here it amazes me. Such cool formations. Once you get up the steps from along the coast walking track, it feels like you are in central Australia! Beautiful ocean views from the top. Not far from the café. Great workout if you jog up the steps.

Almanda Silver Mine Complex

Historical landmark

😐 Half the mine site is closed. Any building still standing is full of graffiti, the stamping machine gearbox is overgrown and thistle grows over the path, making the site compromised as a historic site, photo opportunity or nature walk. It is a pity because the geology of the ore body is quite uniqu...
