A breathtaking view unfolds as you stand overlooking the Skerretts Creek valley. Here, no beaten path guides your way; instead, the journey upstream requires deft navigation across slippery rocks. The dense canopy of the forest envelopes much of your passage, yet as you venture forth, nature gradually unveils this picturesque scene, adorned with vibrant lupins that bloom during the warmer months. Beyond this, you immerse yourself once more in the lush and dense bush.
