Get a grip guys. - This chap is talking about HAWKES POINT. There is also a different way to access it from the end of a road, turn right not far from reaching the station. Park at the end of the road, turn left directly by Hawkes Point House, follow the path, go over the railway line, turn right and head down the cliff path. Hardly a secret spot, was there yesterday and the place was zooed.
