Description

This is the main uphill route through the reserve – though this is a two-way track, so watch out for people in either direction. The track winds its way up the hill, deviating from an old farm track in a couple of places so as to maintain a moderate gradient.

The track surface is mostly firm dirt, with some rock armoring in places. Some sections seem to be prone to being a little boggy, which is to be expected from a new track that is still under development.

About two-thirds of the way up there is a short connection up to a lookout on a ridge. The views are mainly towards the southwest, in the general direction of the airport.

Getting there

For the uphill, enter from Bottom (southern) end is on the grassy area at the apex of Darlington Road.

Top (northern) end is most of the way up the hill, at an intersection with Bootleg.

Other notes

The track is a work in progress.
