Veer right: From the intersection at the base of the tower
[9], this walk follows the GNW arrow post
[10] steeply downhill for a short distance, then turns right and follow another GNW arrow post
[11] into the bush. About 50m after leaving the clearing, this walk crosses a small timber bridge
[12] and continues generally downhill for about 200m before the track bends right (away from the view of the power lines
[13]). About 300m further down this track, this walk crosses a small intermittent creek
[14]. Then over the next 500m, the track descends into the moist forest
[15] to the base of a large cliff face
[16] (up to your right), then crosses a section of timber boardwalk
[17]. Over the next 100m, the track crosses another handful of sections of boardwalk
[18] before the track leads along the side of the hill for a further 500m, out of the moist forest
[19], passing some large boulders
[20] and leading down to an intersection with a wider trail
[21].
Here the walk veers right, following the GNW arrow post along the trail
[22] and through the casuarina forest
[23] for about 500m, then crosses a gully with a small intermittent creek
[24]. The old trail leads generally down through the tall forest for another 1.3km then passes under a set of power lines
[25]. Here the walk continues along the side of the valley, following an old trail through the tall eucalypt forest
[26] for about 500m to pass through a usually closed gate
[27] (staying left at the Y-intersection, just before the gate
[28]).
The trail now narrows to a track
[29] that leads along side the road (which is up to your right
[30]), following a fence for about 180m before turning right and heading steeply up
[31] to the safety barrier beside the road. Turning left, this walk now steps over a small stile
[32] and follows behind the barrier (with the road on your right) for a short distance before veering left and down the steep rocky track
[33] towards the house. The track follows the fence (near the house)
[34] below the embankment for about 180m before leading back up to the road
[35]. Here the walk follows the road a short distance to come to the end of the safety barrier
[36], beside Bumble Hill Road.
