Hike Summary
This Wirrawill, Myrtle Gully, Tanglefoot Tracks hike is a very beautiful hike that takes the Western side of Mt Tanglefoot, and is a shorter version of the Tanglefoot Track plus includes the Wirrawilla Rainforest Walk. This walk is well worth taking your time to admire the scenery on.

leeches more than numerous today, post rain there were heaps in the first two kms.
We did the Wirrawilla walk on 10/11/2018 – unfortunately the bridge to the Myrtle Gully and Tanglefoot loops is currently impassable as it has been removed for repair. As a result the Wirrawilla is the only walk that can be access (at least, without going over the DO NOT ENTER tape/signs).
Hopefully this won’t take long to finish.
