Monument Hill Walking Track

Monument Hill walking track is a one-way track, starting at the end of Carri Street and finishing just near the historic Trial Bay Gaol. Enjoy the stunning views of the coastline along the way and see the historic monument built for German gaol internees. If you want to keep walking, allow extra time to return after stopping for a snack at the Trial Bay Kiosk. Let us begin by acknowledging the Dunghutti people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
