Gear you might need
As well as including the Ten Essentials, my planning, food and packing checklists provide an summary of things to consider on your day, overnight and multi-day hikes. Every person and every hike is different, so customise your kit according to your needs. Download your free checklists here >>
Let someone know before you go
It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.

Both lovely tracks. I have been thinking of posting this combo up with the Wanderers soon.
Did this hike on the weekend 19/05/18. Nice track and and not to hard. Plenty to see and explore, lots of Mushrooms and fungi about jyou just need to keep your eyes peeled. Not to much in the scheme of uphill/ downhill. some nice vistas along the way especially the Heritage river track sections. saw 1 large tree that had fallen over one of the creek crossing bridges that needs to be removed. overall a good hike and perfect for young bushwalkers. Added bonus was the Blackwood hotel celebrating 150 years so a well deserved pint at the end of the walk.
Done deal. Going to be a big day haha

For those that like to hike/pack with their dogs, you will potentially lose this option IF it has a change of status to National Park per interim VEAC recommendations.

Love whipstick loop! Great with kids and with lovely orchids and a great cafe at the end to boot!
Just completed this hike over the long weekend. Really enjoyable. Worth noting that the GPX file is valuable. There are a number of tracks leading off in other directions particularly in the Heritage section. Even with the GPX we still managed to go off course a few times!
