Continue straight: From the intersection, this walk follows the bush track alongside the lagoon (keeping it on the left), following the water’s edge for a short while. The track then turns up through the bush, winding among some short grass trees and up a rock outcrop. The track passes a burnt car then comes to a ‘Y’ intersection with the Sub Station bush track.
Veer left: From the intersection, this walk follows the bush track heading north along the rocky path (keeping the lagoon on the left), climbing the gentle hill to the top. The track come to a smaller intersection with a bush track, just before a more obvious intersection.
Turn left: From the intersection, this walk follows the bush track, heading down the hill and past the top of a large rock platform. The track continues along to the intersection with a bush track a short while later.
Veer left: From the intersection, this walk follows the bush track heading down the hill towards the dense green forest. The track winds down to the bottom of the hill and continues under the thick tree canopy, crossing to the other side of the creek where the walk comes out at an intersection with a bush track
Veer left: From the intersection, this walk follows the bush track heading towards the lagoon, away from the thick tree canopy. The track winds through the bush, among some thick grass trees, until coming to the top of a rocky hill, where there is a ‘Y’ intersection with more bush tracks
Continue straight: From the intersection, this walk follows the bush track uphill, keeping the lagoon to the left. The walk passes through the gap in the rock and continues along the bush track until coming to an intersection with another bush track at the arrow signpost.
Veer left: From the intersection, this walk follows the arrow (on the right-hand side of the track), heading along the bush track to the south. The walk winds through the trees for a while until heading down a rock staircase that zigzags to the bottom of the hill. The track then continues through bracken ferns and grass trees, passing around the edge of the lagoon and across a short wooden bridge to the grass clearing near the gap in the safety railing on Henry Lawson Drive.
