Route/Trail notes

The first part of the walk is along the well-marked Plateau Track, before veer right onto an unnamed track that heads towards Maxwell Top [Kanangra GR342358]. Follow this track for just over a kilometre before descending the cliffs near Murrarang Top, and then follow the Gingra Trail which follows the Gingra Range. Take the Roots Ridge Track off the Gingra Trail, which follows Roots Ridge steeply down to the Kowmung River.
