Really interesting hike with lots to take in. Track is a little overgrown but still very walkable. Moves through temperate forests and closely follows the creek as water falls/water cascades. Nice picnic area at the end - take lunch and then enjoy the return trek. Word of warning - what our for leeches. We had our hiking socks and boots have leeches also enjoy the walk with us. Despite this - can recommend this as an enjoyable hike.
