It is approximately 100 metres from the start of the Walter Pisterman walk to the Point Nepean Cemetery. T

There are open views into the cemtery but accessibilty may only be possible with some assistance when the dirt and grass surface is mown short.

The path is comapcted gravel (Lilydale surface) with some loose stones. The first rest stop is at the end of the cemetery, approximately 150 metres from the start of the walk.

The path changes to asphalt for the remainder of the walk to Observatory Point picnic area after the first rest stop at the Point Nepean Cemetery.

There is one more rest stop approximately half way between the cemetery and the Observatory Point picnic area.
