Exercise and Relaxation

The Fernleigh track is great for exercising and relaxation. Great for walking or riding. The track is a converted railway line and features the Fernleigh Tunnel. You can ride to Adamstown (north) and then by road to Newcastle, or to Belmont (south). The track is currently being extended to Swansea!

Redhead Beach is patrolled during the Summer period and has a beaut cafe. The club house bar is open on Friday evenings for drinks during Summer and often there is live music on Sunday afternoons. Feature of the beach is the Shark Tower - where lifesavers would be positioned on the look out for sharks! Nowadays the beach is part of the Smart Beaches program and has a bouy in the water and a tracking station on the shore that monitors for tagged sharks passing along the coast. Great for surfing, and beach walking. Kid friendly as it has natural creeks heading out to the sea which kids love playing in.

Unpatrolled beach about a 5 min drive away from our home. It's got a good carpark or you can walk down many of the bushtracks leading down to the beach. This beach has a natural rock shelf and great rock pools for exploring.

The hiking track to Glenrock lagoon is lovely. You can do a range of hikes from a short boardwalk and bridge crossing to a long trek right down to Glenrock Lagoon and the beach. Features waterfalls which are better in periods of high rain.
