Description
I saw people of ages from about 6 to 65 on the day I hiked.
One fit adult had his toddler in a back-pack carrier.
Quite popular with school groups.
National Park Pass required ($13AUD, 2019).
Steep incline, many constructed timber-enforced or rock steps, high exposure at the top, alpine changeable weather conditions, fabulous view for a picnic lunch in good weather.
1.5-2 hrs average to ascend.
Well-marked, well maintained track.
Large carpark fills quickly on weekends and public holidays.
Although a lot of the track is well-shaded the last 3rd is very exposed.
