This walk / scramble is over the road from our place! You can either walk down and enjoy the scramble back up or turn left at the bottom and go to Narrowneck or right and find Nellie's Glen and then the start of the Six Foot Track (about a 10km loop). Check the National Park websites before planning any bushwalk please.
