Walking today. The most popular walk on the island is The Forts. This complex was built during WW2 for naval defence and consisted of two guns along with lookout, ranging, control, and communication facilities. It is advertised as a moderate 1.5km each way.
Took the bus for the 10min ride from Horseshoe Bay to The Forts car park. The path itself is very well maintained with modern work over some of the original. The path up the hill is fairly easy - bonus; there's koalas in the trees - and this gets you up to the Forts circuit, a circular path that visits all the main structures.
