The walk starts at the carpark at the Park entry, and climbs steadily to the Gorge, is approx. 22km return and all on well-formed walking tracks.

I doubt there will be more than a light dusting of snow at the top (if that), but there are likely to be patches of ice on the track higher up. The track lower down will be slippery on the mud and tree bark (especially the first/last 3km).

There were many different types of fungi about, and I startled a lyrebird, when I did this a couple of weeks ago. Note too that there was a couple of trees to climb over and lots of debris on the track (compared to normal).

Bring a thermos and plenty of winter gear, as it will be cool.
