Visit Ross Cave, Bede Lookout, Pulpit Rock, Little Zig Zag, Rienits Pass, Wilson Glen and back past Ross Cave. Old track, poorly maintained. In a couple of places, a slip would not be good.

Paul L.
Walking the Engardine Track down to Kangaroo Creek, then following the creek up. Possible swim at Olympic pool alone the way, or at Karloo pool before walking back to Heathcote Station via Karloo Track. The section below Olympic pool has multiple creek crossings and the track can be difficult to follow. This walk has been done in the opposite direction before, this way the flat and hot section near Engadine is done in the morning while cooler. Descending to the lowest part of Kangaroo Creek first and then slowly ascending up the creek. Swim to cool off or just dip your feet in before final walk up track to station. Hazards: Creek crossings with slippery rocks. Location: Royal National Park Map: Royal NP Limit: 12. View
