F Break

F Break is at the end of ‘The Cape’ Road off the Cape Paterson Rd between Wonthaggi and Cape Paterson. This part of the world used to be a great delight but there is much development going on nowadays so it is being spoiled alas. Still you can see it now before it is altogether ruined.

Mind you, no-one much is walking or camping along the beach itself. You can walk all the way from Phillip Island and continue on all the way to Wilsons Prom if you so desire. Along this section you will find small seeps coming out of the cliffs. These can be wiped up with a cloth, squeezed into a billy the filtered to make drinking water.

It is a very pleasant day walk from Harmers Haven to Cape Paterson where you can buy excellent counter lunches. We were there the other day at dusk so the shots are not great. You can see how long our shadows were at the beginning of the path:

There are openings such as this in the dunes where you could (possible not strictly legally) set up a tent.
