After breakfast and checking out of our accommodation, we’ll hit the tracks for an awesome day hiking another highlight stretch of the Cape to Cape Track today, 8km in total, beginning at local surf spot Moses Rock and hiking through to Wilyabrup Sea Cliffs. After passing Moses Rock Campsite and crossing Wilyabrup Brook, you’ll climb up along the ridge line and through the melaleuca trees until you reach the star of the day – the Wilyabrup Sea Cliffs! We’ll take a short detour and head down to the base of the cliffs to admire these ancient craggy cliffs so you can appreciate just how impressive they are! A wonderfully constructed staircase then guides you up and onto the top of the stunning sea cliffs and offers amazing vistas for you to admire. After our hike we’ll enjoy lunch at a local restaurant or brewery before we head back to Perth feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the new week with plenty of amazing memories and stories to tell!
