DIRECTIONS
Take the bus or park your car near Dudley Page Reserve. At the northern end of the park turn right into Lancaster Road.
At the end of Lancaster Road pass through the small gate in the white picket fence and follow the unpaved footpath left along the cliff-top walk. Follow the metal fence till you reach a raised timber walkway. Take the walkway and follow the steel fence along the cliff-top.
30 metres before the northern end of the cliff top reserve veer left up the stairs into Oceanview Avenue. Turn right into Ray Street.
As Ray Street loops to the left take the raised timber walkway to your right, following the coastline and keeping the large block of flats on your left. At the end of the timber walkway turn right and follow the concrete path through Diamond Bay Reserve.
Follow the footpath as it loops around Diamond Bay Reserve. Cross over the creek and follow the path up to the grassed area running along the foreshore of Diamond Bay with the road on your left.
At the end of the Reservecross MacDonald Street and follow Marne Street straight ahead as it becomes Jensen Avenue.
Where Jensen Avenue and Clarke Street meet, veer right into Clarke Reserve.
There’s a great kids playground here and a huge sporting ground so have a run around and a picnic then head back the way you came.
