The walk on the Bouddi Track was enjoyed by 17 enthusiastic walkers who braved possible showers that did not eventuate. There were some gentle queries about gradient ratings and the number of stairs, but overall there was a sense of a great walk despite the fact that we didn't find the Bouddi lookout.
Down to a rather stormy Little Beach and back up again as a warm-up
