The track is classified as Easy and Intermediate around the mid section but I found myself bushwacking here. I am not new to such because my other hobby is bushcraft. I told myself at this point, "No way a track rated as Easy would require bushwacking!" I added, "I was made for this!"

The next part was rather steep but I took some shots, anyway.

The track is not limited to a few metres just by the fence on the right-hand-side as the rest of the track showed some early indications of an impending landslide.

I will post the rather common shot of the two bays in the Landscape section.

I ate my sushi balls lunch up top.

Here is the view of the head scarp/impending landslide. The bottom is heavily mitigated but nature doesn't care and a few continuous torrential rain episodes can mobilise this slope.

This path has a naturally thick canopy, probably good for group meetings.
