Comments

Nice consistent gradient the whole way. After having done quite a few bush bash walks lately was a nice welcomed change to have a well graded and maintained track the entire way. Took me just under 3hrs to do the hike there and back. Unfortunately there aren't really many opportunities for photos after you enter the forest right at the start of the walk. Despite this it was suprisingly popular today, lots of people out and about exploring it. Parking can be a bit tricky, I was lucky I got there early.

Pleasant and shaded walk on an old 4WD track; the last section is steep as it goes through rainforest to the summit. No views from the top.
