The plan was to walk from Wagstaffe to Box Head then try to find a way down to Iron Ladder Beach on Broken Bay then down to Tallow Beach and back.
As usual plans are made to be amended. Less than 2klm in, at the junction with the Hawke Head Rd fire trail, I was turned back by NPWS staff as there was a helicopter spray operation targeting the bitou bush on the headlands and beaches. When I checked the website while standing talking to the man it was down as an alert, however it was not there when planning the walk the day before. I always check now,as too many times I have been thwarted by some closure or issue. A lot of which are not noted. Very frustrating. C'est la vie.
