GETTING HERE ON GOOGLE MAPSSealed roads connect the 3 townships of Dunwich, Amity, and Point Lookout… and there’s no traffic light in sight!
If you didn’t bring the car, the local Straddie bus service will get you from A to B. Or you can hire a rental car, or perhaps pedal power is your passion. The distance between Dunwich (where the water taxis and car ferries arrive) and Point Lookout is approximately 22km so if you do cycle, you can travel and enjoy both the beauty and the adventure of Straddie at the pace you choose. Just take care as the roads have narrow or no shoulder in parts and are sometimes frequented by large trucks during business hours. There is also a taxi service for that personalized trip.
