Description

Heading east along the gravel path for about 300m, hold your breath in a north west wind (as there is a sewerage treatment facility nearby).
There is a small (tiny) hill - actually its a bank, over to the start of the track (info on the lagoons can be found here).
Follow this trail for another 300m, then the track goes straight or to the right, take the right side trail for this run and follow along the coast for about 4km over bridges and through the tussocks where you get to the Waverly wreck.
From here the trail loops to the left and back to the start, but for the 10k loop, keep running along the coast straight ahead for another 1km and turn around where you reach a fence with a gate.
When you get back to the shipwreck, follow the trail to the right and it takes you back to the starting point.
