Description

This is a short trail that I took to avoid the wetter section of the Valley Trail after recent flooding. At the carpark, take the track up to the right. Climb past the cave and join the track which parallels the Valley Track but sidling along the hillside rather in the valley. When the Valley Track leaves the native bush, you can descend to reconnect with it.
