A good bush walk is judged on its markers, its surface and how clearly it shows the route, especially where the path climbs or crosses streams. Gorge walks can be affected by weather, so check local conditions and any closures before you set out. Sturdy shoes and water are worth bringing, and it helps to allow more time than the signed walk time, since rests and photographs add up. Regulars often go early in the day, when the bush is quieter.
For a short bush walk near Woodville, this track is worth a visit once you have checked conditions.
