Description
Follow the signposted track up towards the trig. You will follow this track for about 2km until you reach a gate. You will see a sign indicating the direction towards the Trig on your left (don't go past gate as it goes no where). Follow this track and it will take you around the hill side giving you some amazing views and then a steep climb for the final section to the trig.
Return the way you came.

While I was there the track condition was excellent, but I could image it would get very muddy after rain. The clay slopes would get very slippy.
Keep to track at all times and do not be tempered to go look into a mine shaft!
