The road become a popular for people exploring the region. The road follows the Hacking River's east bank and then Bola creek to Sir Bertam Stevens Drive. Much history has been preserved with several drinking troughs still filling with water and many sandstone retaining walls still standing. The brooks that the old road pass over have been named using the traditional names of birds, the following is a list with the English name in brackets. Mullion (Eagle), Wurrul (Bee Eater), Burowa (Bustard), Karonga (White Crane), Gorra Worra (Laughing Jackass), Buralga (Native Companion), Kobardo (Parrot), Birumba (Plover), Dirijiri (Wagtail), Murrindum (Quail), Dumbal (Crow), Tamur (Bronze winged Pigeon), Burunda (Swan), Karani (Duck), Palona (Hawk) Brooks.

徒步人数：   3 人；
行程：       12 公里；
爬高：       400 米

报告：   
在最后几分钟，才知道有二部车，可以走单程了。Lady Carrington Drive 是一条绿树成阴的路径。看到了1892年建立的 Jersey泉水池，是早期供过往的马车和乘客饮用的。途中，遇到一群观鸟的人，他们拿着望远镜和鸟册，我却看不到他们所说“小而美丽”的小鸟。

临时决定， 加走一条 Side Walk 去 Panola Cave，同时决定偏离 Track 去攀登岩石。上下岩石的过程是今天最有挑战性的一段。
