Not sure how it was measured at 8Km as we measured only 4.66Km. Couldn't see how the extra was made up - anyway, it's a good workout. Rival to the Kokoda trail on Mt Coot tha for the elevation climb so its an ideal training track.

Entry via Cobalt street in two places also. Turn right into Cobalt St off Mungarie and entrance is after 3rd house on left; other is off where Cobalt St intersects Glengarry Rd. Have yet to see an echidna but plenty of birdlife, bugs, and one snake so far...
