Wanted another walk today, since it’s the last day I’ll have off work for a while. I’ve been curious to see what this area is like these days so decided to come down and take a walk around. The walk itself is beautiful. It was nice to have a track to walk on rather than just bush-bashing like the last few hikes I’ve been on. The walk is quite short and easy. I think this would be a good one for kids. The cool, brisk air was such a nice refreshing change from the humidity and heat of the Northern Rivers this past summer. It was 12 degrees here, and 24 in Grafton.
I found the trig easily, and signed my name in the nearby guestbook. It’s in good order, although the mast has slight curvature from a fire. The nameplate is still intact.
I had a cache with me so decided to hide on up here. I don’t usually worry if there’s already a trig in place to entice GCA players up here, but if you’re venturing up here you’ll get two smilies for the price of one!
I made my way back to the car, completing the loop and bumping into a family of Lyrebirds on the way. A great day out.

Found on our 3 week 4WDing/camping adventure. Lovely walk to the trig although we got drenched on the way back down after seeing a snake at the trig. A memorable cache.

Robbieracer66 and I were told about this Trig by a park ranger we met when we returned to the road after finding the Chaelundi Mountain Trig. Since we were in the area we thought we would have a look..with fading light we ran a lot of the way to the trig afraid we would have little light in the rainforest for the return trip..we found the trig but didn't fully appreciate the walk this trip..definitely will return and do this walk again...beautiful
