Vicmap 1:25000 Ingliston 7722-1-3 or Vicmap 1:30000 7722-1-3-1
This is a circuit track that can be walked in either direction, however anti-clockwise seems to be the more common recommendation. The track is steep in places with scrabmbling along the river section, but it is suitable for fit kids. There is a handrail for one section of the walk which is on a narrow sloping section above the river.
This track may become impassable after heavy rain.
