This is a very good walk. We had good weather both days (~25-27 degrees). The first day scaled upwards and the second day was a lot easier as you are going downwards most of the way. The views from around Cave Hill were fantastic. Its worth doing the walk just for the lookouts around the Cave Hill area. This walk could be done as a long day walk but I appreciated having the break overnight as I was quite tired after heading in an upward direction for the first half of the walk.
The Beeripmo Campsite is well maintained and very comfortable with drop toilets and low tables to prepare food on. It was good to see that there was no rubbish left behind by fellow campers. We were the only ones there that night. The water from the tanks at Beeripmo camp looked a little dodgy. However, we boiled some up and added chlorine and we live to tell the tale :).
The walk is very easy to navigate with plenty of signposting. Most of the walk utilises walking tracks rather than firetrails, which was good. The walk goes through areas of dry Australian brushland, ferny gullies and areas of tall gums. A walk that demonstrates the Australian landscape and has some good views from the lookout areas.
3.5 out of 5 stars
