David Sando have we done this one
Has anybody attempted this hike? I’m just wondering about the road access if this access able in 4×4.
HI Timotcho, yes I have done this a few times now. We have taken a 4WD as the track can be rough and is steep. If you have a high clearance vehicle there should be no issue but it would be slow going with a standard car.
