Description
You no longer cross under the highway to access the track due to the gorge road being permanently closed. Just follow the track from the carpark to the trail entrance. The Woodville end is open and carparks are available there too, so you could run the track from either direction.
If you're going from the gpx start, once you're at the highest point, it undulates until the climb down to the Woodville end.
