Description
Head out from the start on well groomed 4WD track. After about 600m the well groomed bit goes right, but you carry on straight ahead. Lovely wide single trail (ex 4WD) under a canopy of natives which then turns into true single trail by the river and climbs steadily to the tunnel entrance. The tunnel is open to the other end and is generally about 7' high... shoe depth water flows through steadily and there are a few glow-worms. To complete this trail you need to get to the very end of the tunnel where there is a barrier you can peek over and then return.
