Green Head
Monday 20th March 2017
We had a good walk at Green Head on the Tasman Peninsula today starting and finishing at Lime Bay. The weather was fine but overcast and we experienced little wind until we reached the exposed coastline at Lagoon Beach. For route details see Green Head 2011.

Green Head
Saturday 16th April 2016
I did this walk about 5 years ago and we followed exactly the same route as last time. The write up is here, so I will just include a few photos this time. The main thing that had changed was the lagoon was completely devoid of water and there were quite a few carcases of animals on the edge of the lagoon.

Green Head
Tuesday 10th May 2011
To reach Green Head, drive down to the Tasman Peninsula and at Taranna turn onto the B37, follow to Premaydena and turn onto C341 and drive to Lime Bay. Park anywhere in the large parking area.
I started the walk at 0800 and walked up a vehicle track for about 0.8 kms. before heading into the bush and up over Black Rock Hill. I soon found a pad that ran right around Green Head to Lagoon Beach.
The walking was easy and the only climb was Black Rock Hill, and that was miniscule. The pad was easy to follow and just past the northern tip of Green Head I descended to the beach. It was a little tricky getting down to the beach but I managed it okay.
After climbing back up I continued on and climbed down to a couple of the larger beaches and walked along them to finally arrive at Lagoon Beach.
Lagoon Beach is a nice flat beach with white sand and I walked along it before exiting over the dunes to find a track that ran around beside the lagoon.
I chose to walk around the southern edge of the lagoon but it would have been just as easy to do the northern side.
As I walked around I came across some large water filled ruts where some idiots had been driving 4WDs. It is so disappointing when people do stupid things like that. Vehicles are not supposed to be here!!
After finding a track on the eastern side of the lagoon, I followed this back to the car.
This was a very enjoyable walk with great coastal scenery and is a quite flat and easy walk.
Distance: 10.6 kms.
Time: 3'09"
Ascent: 240 metres
