Route/Trail notes:
Walk up through that car park and across the road to join the main signposted path that takes you up to the Skyring Creek crossing. Cross the creek and follow the track up to the Cascades.
There are two options from here, either to rock hop up the creek and rejoin the track at the top or follow the pathway that criss-crosses the creek. This section is pretty rough going with boulders and tree routes to climb over and the track and steppingstones can be washed away when the creek floods.
After the final creek crossing the track rises steeply to the top of the ridge past Diamondfield Lookout where you turn left past Happy Valley Lookout before descending to cut the starting pathway where you turn right back to the start.
It is recommended to complete this walk anticlockwise.
Permits/Costs:
None.
