Little Zig Zag, (Kanimbla Pass) Mount Victoria
An old established track the Little Zig Zag, (Kanimbla Pass) at Mount Victoria. I have walked down this track as far as Bushrangers Cave, but never walked further. We will decide on the day whether to walk a side track and back up slightly different way, or to return same way. Constructed in 1875-1876. It was mentioned by surveyor John Deering on 20 July 1876, in a letter to Surveyor General that Kanimbla Pass was being constructed by the Roads Department at a cost of £200 and being 46 chains in length, (925m).

5 H - Day Walk -
Wheeny Gap and Lagoon Creek walk
This can be a challenging walk and requires a 4wd to get to the trail head. Although the walk distance is quite short, only about 5 kilometers, the descent and ascent is the challenge. Starting on a 4wd fire trail, we walk to the trail head, then we go steeply down through a rocky and bushy track, it can have a lot of leaf litter as well. It is steep and slippery. Near the bottom the bush turns into a rainforest then we walk along the dry creek bed to a huge sandstone cliff wall, and not far beyond here are the Lagoon Creek Falls. Depending on time we will venture down further to Wheeny Gap Falls. Afterwards if interested, we can continue onto the Bilpin brewery for a sip of local cider and wood fired pizzas.
