Comments

Very even and consistent gradient the whole way up, very well marked, you would have to be doing something very wrong to get lost! There is a little structure at the top to see the lookout (which is mostly obstructed by trees). Not a bad hike but you're probably not going to get any amazing photos there.

After a morning's croc spotting on Yellow Water, this was an opportunity to stretch my legs with a bit of a climb.
