This trail has a bit of everything... but your feet will get wet, so when you descend from the carpark, head straight over the river - you will see the trail about 50 meters away - and follow the trail.
You will cross this river over 50 times EACH WAY! So keeping feet dry is not gonna happen. At times the trail is obvious, other times invisible, but you are heading up the river, so bear that in mind. Always watch out for the orange triangles that pop up infrequently and often show you the way to wonderful short stretches of bush trail. Eventually at around 10km you will reach the hut, check it out, maybe have a break, then retrace your steps as best you can to the start.
Great river views, lots of birds. Thousands of Painted Lady butterflies and Cinnibar moths with pink undersides to their wings.
Good sized parking area

No way should this route be attempted if the river is high or if medium or heavy rain is expected.
The river crossings can be slippery and treacherous, take your time - especially late in the run/walk when you are getting weary. Some of the larger rocks are very slippery so make sure one foot is solidly planted before lifting the other.
