An easy walk for families, with panoramic views of the Derwent River throughout the length of the walk. Park at the end of Geilston Bay Road. The track is well signposted, with directional and heritage information signs throughout. The track is mostly flat but slightly undulating at the start with a short but fairly steep descent to Shag Bay at the end. The last part is within the East Risdon Nature Reserve. All flora and fauna are protected and dogs are prohibited. This area is also rich in Aboriginal history.
Follow the heritage walk signposts from Geilston Bay to the southern side of Shag Bay and a sign titled 'The Midden'. Continue from the sign to the Aboriginal quarry and the Shag Bay foreshore, then up a short slope above the old boiler to the quarry. The boiler is part of the remains of an early 20th century bone mill.
Start at the carpark on Sarean Ct, Geilston Bay TAS 7015
