Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- TassieTravellers99Launceston, Australia3,405 contributionsThis is a nice circuit boardwalk that leaves from near the lighthouse and takes in some lovely coastal views. Plenty of parking available and there is the lighthouse and associated museums nearbyWritten 18 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- elizabethlV6977MNBournemouth, UK161 contributionsGreat walks and park atmosphere. Not too sure about the small dark reception and caged animals on display.
Enjoyed the shorter wetlands walk and will return for the longer walking track.Written 9 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Really enjoyed it both times, it is an easy 6 kms walk one way (around 12 kms return) and did the return in around 2 hours.
The views on this section are superb - ranging from quiet bush tracks to rugged coastal cliffs and beaches (see my 4 photos with this Review). There are a few small inclines and declines, but other than that it is fairly flat. There is one steep decline and incline as you pass over a creek somewhere in the middle. There is also a few steps to go down to Bushrangers Bay. I took my lunch with me and had it at Bushrangers Bay. It is quite isolated with no mobile reception. This is worth doing it, if you pick a day with reasonable weather.Written 23 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The board walk is generally well maintained.Written 12 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- TravellerMelbourne, Australia17,570 contributionsMy wife and I drove to the first car park, off Cape Schank Road, where we parked our car under the shade of a large tree and walked the 600 metres to Fingal Lookout, which is a separate walking track, to enjoy the scenic views from that higher vantage point.
After that, we drove our car to the second car park, 200 metres away and parked our car under the shade of a large tree at the Fingal Picnic area. We walked the 1.5 km track to Fingal beach which has shade from trees for most parts of the walk.
The views along the track and the views on the beach are very scenic. The climb up the steps for the return journey takes a bit of effort but is very good for exercise, especially with the fresh air.Written 1 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's a local secret. Without a car though you couldn't do it. It's a decent day drive with stops for food in between.Written 14 July 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TravellerMelbourne, Australia17,570 contributionsThis is one of the best parts of Coastal Victoria for hiking due to the spectacular scenery, second only to The Great Ocean Road.
My wife and I stayed at The RACV resort for two nights and went hiking on two consecutive days to enjoy the exercise, fresh air, sunshine and magnificent views during the perfect cool autumn weather.Written 16 May 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The National Parks people put new fish stocks in Bittern Reservoir (and nearby Devil Bend Reservoir) a couple of times each year. What we did find was that both Reservoirs have extensive walk and bike tracks - the Bittern Reservoir has a circuit track which is about 2.5 kms. We went most recently in June and the track was very muddy and slippery - but okay if you walked on the grass edges - no matter what you will end up with clay mud heavily packed on your boots - if you are riding on the mud make sure you have a mudguards fitted on your bike! The circuit doesn't give easy access to the reservoir shoreline - if you attempt walking through the bushes then careful of the shoreline mud which is very slippery. As far as fishing goes there are really only two smallish areas that fishing is permitted. I'd recommend wearing waders as the shoreline is very shallow and you need to cast a long way. The nearby Devil Bend Reservoir is far more accessible and "comfortable" and scenic - with car parking, picnic areas and toilets.Written 13 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Brian9 contributionsWe did the circuit bushwalk from Baldrys Rd. car park which took about 4 hours with a leisurely lunch break at the camping ground. The walk is easy with a few short hills, sections of narrow and wide tracks. The highlight is the abundance of grass trees - even better if they are flowering. And, of course the occasional friendly wallaby.Written 27 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Paul LHallam, Australia997 contributionsNot that there are two reserves - Upper Sweetwater Creek Reserve and Lower Sweetwater Creek Reserve. Both are quite pleasant.
The Upper one is - unsurprisingly - higher up and has nicely maintained paths and is quite lush. It's not very large and in fact tends to blend in with Lawsons Reserve on the one side and Frankston Nature Conservation Reserve on the other. In fact the three of them can be considered a 'job lot' and it's quite possible to do all three at once.
No facilities of any kind apart from the trails etc and you might be best served to park in the carpark at the end of Jeremy Way at one end of the conglomerate and do the lot all at once.Written 2 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

On a nice day you cannot beat this fairly rugged stretch of coastline.Written 27 August 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
