Point Addis Koorie Cultural Walk

This is an approximately 2 km out-and-back, about 1 km each way, from Point Addis Road to a lookout above Addiscott Beach. Allow about an hour for the climb, interpretation stops and the view. Choose it for a short coastal walk with a cultural focus; the return follows the same route.

From the Point Addis car park, walk uphill along Point Addis Road for about 300 m, past the toilet block, to the timber viewing platform and signed path. The track drops to a junction, climbs left, then bears right at a T-junction; take the short spur to the beach lookout. Return the same way. Current park information also describes Yirripa Yan, a longer Wadawurrung cultural walk that continues into Ironbark Basin. This listing follows the earlier short lookout route, so check the signs at the road before setting out.

The path crosses coastal heath and finishes above Addiscott Beach, where pale sand curves below rust-coloured cliffs and the Southern Ocean. The cultural interpretation focuses on Wadawurrung connection to Country. Give the final lookout a pause: it brings the beach and cliff line together in one view.

There are timber steps and an uphill stretch, so this is more than a flat stroll. Stay on the formed track and back from the cliff edges; the coastal cliffs are unstable. Dogs are not permitted in Great Otway National Park. A toilet block is near the Point Addis car park.
