Overall rating
  • The walk goes through some beautiful country. It’s a pity that there is not a camp site closer to Cowan to have more of a halfway stop over. The last piece along the fire trail is easy going, but not very nice to look at. Nice to have done it, but I’ll find another walk for the next one.
