Bowmans Gap makes a great day trip from Ormiston Gorge. Usually people go out and return via the north branch of Ormiston Creek, but it's also possible to come back over Ormiston Hill. Descending from Ormiston Hill towar...

I had hoped to be able to reach Giles Spring by coming down off the nose of The Elephant, but it was too steep. After backtracking, I found a good route for the rest of the way. But earlier, after leaving the Pound Track...

This route is about as direct as you can get. It starts with a good track on the Pound Walk. After leaving the Pound Walk you have a couple of hours of steep, rough, tiring walking before you pass over a saddle into a ge...

We took this day fairly slowly. We climbed to the summit of Mt Giles and back, using the most direct and easiest route, then made our way east to Oasis Spring where there are a couple of trickling pools. A few metres ...
