Getting there:

From Narrabri, take Old Gunnedah Road south and after about 2.5km, turn left onto Kaputar Road. Follow Kaputar Road for 27km to the entrance of Mount Kaputar National Park. The road from the park entrance is a steep, single lane road and caravans are not permitted.

You’ll find the Eckford Lookout walk entrance on the left at the top of Mt Dowe after about 21km, which is the end of the road.

Comments

Could not get very excited about this one, but if it is there, then you just got to walk it. Think we are now up to walk four for the day, with four to go.
