This guide has been made free for everyone thanks to ExploreABLE’s ongoing
commitment to accessible nature for all.
The Experience: A short, flat stroll along the very edge of the coastline, running from the boat ramp right underneath the towering cliffs of Olivers Hill. It offers an easy, low-impact way to get right next to the water without any of the steep climbing.
The View: Up-close perspectives of the rugged hillside cliffs on one side and wide-open, sweeping views across the shimmering waters of Port Phillip Bay on the other.
Facilities: Older style public toilets and boat trailer parking.
An old style toilet block (male and female) at the rear of the car park.
The Cripps Family Fish and Chips
Little Olly’s
Conditions Change: Nature is unpredictable. The track conditions and weather mentioned in this post may have changed since ExploreABLE visited.
Personal Responsibility: You are responsible for your own safety and must assess your own fitness and skills before attempting the activity. Please consult with a doctor before undertaking any new physical activity to ensure it is safe for you.
Accuracy: While ExploreABLE strives for accuracy, errors can happen, and official sources (like National Parks websites) should always be checked for the latest alerts.
Terrain: If there has been heavy rain in the last 24 hours, the terrain under the hill can become slippery and muddy. The path ends abruptly due to cliff side erosion.
Wildlife: The rock crevices are a favorite hiding spot for Pacific Gulls, which can be quite territorial. More importantly, keep an eye on the rock pools for blue-ringed octopuses—they are small and well-camouflaged among the sandstone.
ExploreABLE works offline once loaded – so your guide won’t disappear if the trail takes you out of reception. Just make sure you open and fully view your guide before you head off.
