Opinion:   Smiley
This 'group loop' can be extremely busy during school holidays.
This is great if you love mingling with others.
If you want a bit of peace and quite, ask the rangers about which of the other loops would be more suitable.
There is a lot to do in the "Cape To Cape" area, especially the caves and lighthouses.

The judge's decision is final... unless the 3rd umpire is called for... or a facebook campaign goes viral !!!
