The best way to get a feel for the area is to walk the Hump Ridge Track which takes you over 3 of the 4 historic viaducts. Your second of 2 nights will be at Port Craig where you can explore the history and old relics of where a sawmill and its community once existed in the 1920's. You can also swim with the rare hectors dolphin which live amongst the old pylons of the wharf at the beach there.
