Bit uninteresting and uninspiring on first section of sand and through the high country but gets better down into the forest and valley and creek section and some some nice hills to get the heart pumping. Probably more interesting in the wildflower season.

Easy flat walk. Good if you want to spot wildflowers. A short section of the track goes a long the road. It had been raining lately and there was a small creek running.
