The biggest climb on Day 1 of the Murramarang South Coast Walk was the hop, skip and jump at dusk up the beautifully crafted sandstone stairs from Depot Beach to my forest cabin.
In comparison, day two starts with a heart-stopping climb to Point Upright, so-named by Captain Cook when he sailed past here in the HMS Endeavour on April 22, 1770, due its near-vertical 90-metre rock face.
