Some of the walks in this region can be rated up to Grade 5 (difficult) due to steep climbs to get in and out of the gorges, scrambling over boulders, very narrow passages, slippery rocks and negotiating rock ledges.
The total driving time today is only around 30 minutes.
The Hancock Gorge walk to Kermit’s Pool is a Grade 5 (difficult) walk due to some challenging sections, including a series of metal ladders to the gorge floor, wading through cold pools, negotiating rock ledges on the gorge walls and clambering through stony creek beds. When the gorge dramatically narrows, to continue you need a degree of flexibility and nerve by doing what is called the “spider walk” (where you stretch your arms and legs out to straddle the gap and move along the walls). After that you’ll be rewarded by the views of Kermit’s Pool .
