The walk begins at Whaling Cove as daylight thins—salted wind on your face, granite underfoot and the surf of King George Sound calling from below. Bushland tightens around the track, then opens to scrub-carved rises where the coastline tilts into long sightlines toward Bramble Beach. At Uredale Point the lights come alive: Kari Kola’s ‘Lighting of the Sound’ slices through the twilight while guides pass along stories of First Nations elder Uredale and the landscape’s living history.
