This is a beautiful walk, it has many different types of bush including rainforests and dryer bushland at the top. There are tree orchids, fig trees and lovely palms. There are beautiful caves as well. This is also a walk that is quite secluded and you can often get away with doing it without seeing other people. There is an optional section with a walk to aboriginal engravings. Only do this if you are a very experienced bushwalker, it is a bit hard to find. There is quite a bit of up and down, so leave the day free for the walk.
