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