The walk starts at the Orroral Tracking Station carpark. We will walk west along the Cotter gap fire trail till we reach Prairie Dog Creek, where we will head mainly north-west off-track towards Hill 1339. We will have lunch and explore a couple of rocky outcrops around the summit. We will then head east from the summit off-track down a steep incline through thick scrub till we reach the AAWT in Orroral Valley. We will follow the AAWT east next to the Orroral River, past Fishlock Yards then return to the car park on fire trails.
The off-track section varies from light/medium bush on the summit to very thick scrub downhill off the summit. Some rock scrambling is possible. Walkers are advised to have gaiters and gloves.
