The river in the valley is incredibly beautiful. Some intersections feature some unique beautiful colouring in the water, like jade green. If you're a casual to medium hiker I would save the trek up and down for a cooler weather day.. Anything 25+ the unshaded areas over the hours will catch up with you. Unless camping overnight, up and down with a group and lookout stops and lunch took approx 8 hours including a 1hr lunch break. I had 3 litres of water and rehydrating salts and I ran out of water 3/4's in and was super dehydrated. A few things to consider but totally recommended for the adventure and beauty!

Bush fires devastated this once beautiful area last year. It's growing back but has a long way to go
