Churinga-Alex Bluff Park
This parkland, just south of 'The Corner', was once an unofficial camping ground, but in 1972 it was resumed for a Port and Harbour Reserve and a navigation beacon erected. Now part of the very popular coastal walking and cycling path, the northern end was named Churinga Park after the 1974 Churinga Tree Walk Committee (led by Elizabeth Daniels and Betsan Coates of Booloorong fame) who encouraged beautification of the foreshore. A garden was laid out around the base of the light and the rock wall with steps built to protect the northern part of the Headland which had been washed away by heavy seas in 1974.
