Opposite page below: There are some beautiful walks at Whangarei Heads. We did a scenic easy walk loop track starting and finishing at Urquhart Bay carpark. This beautiful loop track walk takes about 90 minutes and covers an interesting gun emplacement and observation post. The gun emplacement has murals painted on the inside walls showing the view to outside. These murals were painted by the soldiers in 1942 and restored in 1955. The track also takes in the lovely Smugglers Cove A steep short detour takes you up to Busby Head.
