June 2026 - Calvert's Lagoon

It was a beautiful sunny cold winter day and 13 folk showed up for this walk, organised this month by Angie with thanks to Warren for some helpful local knowledge. Participants were: Angie, Gerwyn, Wayne, Warren, Caroline, Fin and friend Jane, Prem, Philip, Bob, Gary, Summa and Graham. The plan basically followed walk #14 as described in Hobart’s Best Bush, Coast and City Walks.

We met up at 10.30 at the Goat Beach car park at the end of Calverts Lagoon Road. After some initial back-tracking, we found the track and set off anti-clockwise around the Lagoon.

Expansive views, samphire underfoot, wallaby and devil poo, and distant birds to admire.

Gary and Bob decided to take a short-cut across the Lagoon, but unfortunately they missed the track to the Beach.

The track led us through some delightful scrub with banksias and other flowering bushes, and crossed the Calverts Lagoon Road on the way to the Beach, where we stopped for a group photo.

We stopped for morning snacks at the south end of Calverts Beach below the Goat Bluff cliffs. And watched the surfers ride the incoming waves.

Fin, Jane, Prem and Graham decided to climb Goat Bluff and enjoyed the views.

While the rest of us walked back along Calverts and Goat Beach to the carpark, where we met up with Bob just before 1pm.

Then off to Angie Sues restaurant in Lauderdale for a smashing lunch.
