Itinerary description

A big shout out to shazza P for posting several walks in the area, this area is rich in many trails just a matter choosing which direction to take.
We parked at the Old Scout camp site on Middle gully road, plenty of off road parking.
Trails were pretty wet and slippery in places after all the rain.
The trail is a mixture of fire tracks and narrow bush tracks ( becoming over grown in places ), but still quite easy to follow.
There was a few steep sections but overall an easy walk.

    Fantastic. There are so many tracks. If you want a scramble … on the same side … walk along the railway. There are 6 tunnels. Some very hidden but stunning. See if you can find them all ! Quite a scramble though
