This walk starts out slow- a small parking lot about 2 km from the main road through Mole Creek with a well-marked trail going through a strip of stringy bark forest which is being revegetated, up a small hill to a clearing with a large wooden sculpture celebrating the geological diversity of the region. We saw a fat echidna here. You cross the clearing and walk along a ridgeline through dry schlerophyll forest until a viewing platform is reached. There is a real diversity of vegetation on this track, and lots of wildflowers. The view from the platform is amazing- though difficult to photograph! If you look to the left and below, there is a clearly visible ochre quarry visited by the region's Aboriginal women.

This is an easy walk with slight to easy grades and a rewarding view. Allow 45 minutes.
