Turn left: From the intersection, the walk follows the right arrow on the ‘Red Gum Trail’ sign, along the sandy bush track. The track immediately drops through a gully and meanders up the other side. This section of the walk climbs and drops a little as it passes through very nice forest, with twisted tree branches leaning over the trail. The track passes a ‘Red Gum Forest’ information board, to the left, and continues for while to reach a wooden lookout platform with atmospheric views to the north and north-east.

Continue straight: From the intersection, the walk follows the sandy management trail up the hill, towards the road. After a very short distance the walk climbs some wooden steps, passes a picnic table, to the left, an information board, to the right, and passes through a timber fence to reach the car park on the Central Coast Hwy, aka Wilfred Barret Dr (about 7km north of The Entrance bridge, and about 3km south of the intersection with Main Rd, Noraville. Signposted ‘Wyrrabalong National Park’).
