This is a 10km grade 3 walk, mainly on track. Starting with a gentle climb on a track through farmland, we cross a couple of narrow creeks, then after entering the National Park, we begin a steep climb that brings us out on top of a ridge.  Sometimes it's possible to get glimpses of the main Kosciusko Range from here. We follow this 4WD track which has washed away in a few places, so we'll be doing a bit of off-track walking to get around them. Quite a few ups and downs before we leave the park and begin a gentle descent through private property to where a vehicle/s has been left at Ross Lane. Not suitable for dogs as there are Maremma guard dogs at the start, National Park and private property.

Bring morning tea, lunch and thermos.

 A car shuffle is involved, so we need to know numbers as to how many cars are needed at Ross Lane. 
 
If anyone still has energy, we can drive to the Bluff Falls Car park and do the short walk to view the falls.
