Itinerary description

We parked at a clearing just off Greenhills road near the Charcoal track sign, ample parking available.

The walk is mainly over fire access tracks but we did manage to find some narrow bike tracks to hike on, the first one was after approx. 1.2 klm and was marked with pink ribbon. If you don't want a little adventure you can continue on the fire access track, fortunately no trail bikes while we were on them. We did hear some trail bikes in the area.
There are some very steep sections and many fallen trees from the storms earlier in the year.
Some beaut bush and the erica's were in full bloom.
Overall the walk was a moderate to hard trek, but most enjoyable.
