| I did this walk as a training hike with a 12kg pack and hiking poles and 3.5l of water. Even though I left at 6am, it still took me 5.5hrs to complete the circuit in a counter-clockwise direction. The steeply undulating hills in the final third of the walk were a killer. Towards the end of the walk, near the grassy area as the Dam comes into view, there is a sign pointing up the hill for bushwalkers. I took it, and it led up to the top of the hill overlooking the lake. Amazing view, but I really just wanted it all to be over at that point! This walk is not difficult to navigate, but was physically exhausting. A very good training hike, but not much fun. | ||||
