Upper Portals

 

The only reason I'd say this walk is is because there are some steep hills which are very tiring but most of the walk is along fire trails.

Yellowpinch Summit

 

From the Yellowpinch carpark walk up the hill until you reach the swinging gate that leads to the start of the National Park. At the gate immediately turn right and begin heading up the hill. follow the trail all the way to the summit where you will find great views of Mount Barney. Recommend early morning walk and watch out for cliffs at the top of the summit. Children must be supervised at the summit.
