“Amazing history and you can get awesome photos, bus it or ride bike. Can be quite hot so wear appropriate clothing as there is little shade until you go inside the barracks.” – Kerri H.

“We did the circuit and it has everything one needs… Great look outs, some good sleep climbs and opportunity to scramble around works when navigating the river… High level beginners track. Get there early as it gets busy. Has good spots for picnic near river. Saw a bunch of kangaroos and wallabies early on (on the track). Recommended and will return for sure.” – Paul H.
