4 of us walked TOGR over 4 nights, 5 days. It was awesome. We walked south to north, and the first two days it rained, so on Day 3 when we awoke to beautiful blue skies we walked back 2.5klms without our packs first thing in the morning from Ghost Lake hut, so that we could see the views from Heavens Door and the Tombstone. So glad we did, the views were absolutely worth it. The terrain and scenery on this track is ever changing, and always spectacular. Great huts, well equipped and plenty of hand sanitiser available. Thanks to the people who built this track and to those who maintain it. Loved it!

We tried the Charming creek walkway as a short walkway not so far away from Westport. The trail follows an old railway track for the timber business in the last century. Some of the railway equipment is still there. But the most beautiful award for hiking for one and a half hour one way is the waterfall after walking through a long tunnel carved out of the mountain by loggers a hundred years ago. Flashlight recommeded.

Have really enjoyed a number of the bike trails. The new section out to Carters Beach was fab, esp loved the awesome boardwalk sections.
