A sudden surprise as I was leaving the Bunya Mountains. No indicator along the road, just a parking spot with a clean toilet. Tucked away the trail and an info sign.

A great walk again and again. Tapes are in selected places only. More than enough. It's always better to navigate properly rather relying on tapes. The observant hiker can follow the ridge and mostly a track. Remember outstanding tree features and the return is even easier. The walk description has 2900+ m elevation change-certainly a mishap? | ||||
