Route/Trail notes

Tour guided walks should be booked before arrival (they book out fast).  You can also do this walk without a guide.  The information centre at the car park will be able to provide you a map.  The walk is well signed so it's pretty hard to get lost even without a map.

A Discovery activity fee applies to all people who visit the reserve during the six annual open weekends. Guided walks are included in the price. $10 adults, $5 children, $25 family.

Pleasant walk. Don't forget to go up once you reach the rock shelf (it's not clearly signed, except for a couple of red flags along the way). Great views at the top.
