The walk to Thor Head for the last part follows a large un-fenced cliff line. There is no track for the last 1km to the head, the views along the way are fantasic. If the climb up Thor Head is not for you, you can gain just as good views from the rocky knoll along the cliff line. If you find you have some time the side trip to Asgard Kiln and Mine are a great way to add some heritage to your walk of breathtaking views. more...

Pyramid Shaped Rock, is a rock shaped (some what) like a pyramid. It is a great place to camp the night with a flat clear area for your tent, or a nice place to stop for lunch on a day trip. The rock is adjacent to a swamp with water (normally) and the rock's proximity to Thor and Asgard Head walks makes it a great base camp. However, for another adventure the side trip to Asgard Kiln and Mine are well worth the trip if your staying overnight at the Pyramid Shaped Rock. more...

This walk out to Baltzer Lookout provides the reward of excellent scenery and a view over the stunning Hanging Rock (aka the Finger). The track is mainly service trail, and would be great on a mountain bike, to the caldasac. The large cliff edges are unfenced and quite exposed to give a thrill. Although short and relatively unchanging in scenery the walk to Baltzer Lookout is well worth it. more...
