Starting from Honeysuckle Ck campground we trundle along the track to Booroomba Rocks for about 1.5km. After a creek crossing, we leave the track to travel g enerally north-west up to a ridge and down the other side to reach some rock platforms with a great view of the valley to the west of Gorilla Ro ck and the rock itself. We then double back and bash our way up to Goril la Rock through some thicker scrub. After a well-earned break and explor ation of Gorilla Rock, our route will be generally north-east to reach t he base of the large rock slabs that buttress Booroomba Rocks. We will s cramble up these slabs for dress-circle views of the entire valley and b eyond. Finally, we will wend our way back to the Honeysuckle Ck track th rough some untamed but beautiful bushland. This walk will be about 9.5km with the majority being off-track and with some rock scrambling. Total climbing will be about 450vm and I expect the entire walk will take us a bout 6.5 hours including stops. Although much of the bush is reasonably open, gaiters and eye protection are recommended as well as sun protecti on and sufficient water for a day out in the bush.
