While suitable for most ages, some bushwalking experience is recommended to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Tracks may have short, steep hill sections, a rough surface, and many steps. The total distance of a Grade 3 walk can be up to 20 kilometers.

3 Reviews on “Estate Spur Circuit Hike (8km)”
There is a discrepancy between the Hike Summary and the GPX path. The summary says “Follow Estate Spur Track south-west, enjoying the incredible 360 degree views from the highest points along the way, until you reach a sign pointing right to Coller Bay. Head right and descend to the main road…”. To stay on the trail you should head LEFT, not right. The path to Coller Bay also gets you to the road (just at the info booth), but cuts off the westernmost section of the trail.
By the way, large sections of this trail are much steeper than I would normally expect on a Grade 3 hike, and be prepared for the temperature being several degrees cooler up on the spur.
We left the car at the lakeside camping ground and did it in reverse. The lake side walk was quite easy to follow, but the descent on estate spur walk was really steep. There was an arrow just before the descent on estate spur track, but it was pulled out and we couldn’t find the way given in the GPX file. We searched around a lot but every direction was dangerously steep.
