Starting high above the Jamison Valley, this track descends into the valley following the Denfenella Creek. Notice as the environment changes from dry bush to temperate rainforest. Following the creek downstream the slippery track passes beautiful cascading waterfalls before coming to a great lookout over the valley.

(0 km) Sir H. Burrell Drive Carpark (Sth) to Int of Den Fenella and Undercliff Tracks Track: Moderate - Bush Track	Distance = 0.4 km	Time = 5 mins
	Climb = 2 m	Descent = -71 m
From the carpark the track heads south-west along the bushtrack and immediately passes two ramshackle tin buildings. Immediately from here the track begins to zig-zag down the hill. Approximately 100m down the hill and the track passes a small bushtrack off to the left. (this does not go anywhere). Continuing down the hill the track passes a lookout however this is largely shrouded by the trees. From here the surrounding environment begins to change and becomes temperate rainforest. As the track curves and becomes parallel to Denfenella Crk it comes to an intersection at a bridge.

(0.37 km) Int of Den Fenella and Undercliff Tracks to Den Fenella Lookout Track: Moderate - duckboard, bushtrack	Distance = 0.1 km	Time = 3 mins
	Climb = 4 m	Descent = -39 m
From the intersection the track crosses Denfenella Creek and immediately comes to an intersection with a bushtrack at a sign saying Den Fenella Crk 5 Mins Return. From the intersection the track goes downhill along the bushtrack following Den Fenella Crk. This soon begins to go down very steeply and due to this being slippery rails have been installed. At the bottom of this first descent the track crosses th creek and continues down under the cliff edge. Shortly afterwards the track crosses the creek once again along a metal bridge. At this point there is a great view of the waterfall going under the track. Continuing south-west for approximately 30m the track comes to a great lookout of the valley.
