Starting from the car park (clockwise), the loop track goes through the forest and steadily climbs towards rocky knolls with views of the coast.

The track then descends to Nimrod Stream, which you'll need to cross. A short detour upstream leads to a 15-meter waterfall (watch out for slippery rocks).

After that, the track climbs sharply to a lookout before descending back to the camping area, completing the loop.

Views of the ocean.
