I did this walk with my primary school aged children. They ran the track and had a great time. Lovely family walk with an ice cream and fabulous view at the top.

Not a very difficult walk. The track has four creek crossings, which require getting your feet wet during wet weather.

Easy defined track. Well signed. Water fountains along the way. 21 mins up, 19 down. Also added in the Art Trail walk for an extra 900mtrs.

A nice steady walk up from J.C Slaughterfalls car park. Usually quite busy and there is a tourist shop and cafew at the top. If you want something a little more challenging then there is also the Lookout track on the south side which starts from caladania st.
