After a short urban walk we descend (193 metres) to the excellent swimming hole at Kangaroo Creek via Bottle Forest Trail and Engadine Track. A little bit of effort is now required to ascend (100 metres) metal stairs to the Robertson's Roundabout Track and then down to the Hacking River. We are now into the picnic grounds of Audley which we traverse to cross the Audley Weir. It is then a delightful and easy graded Honeymoon Track ascent (108 metres) to the National Park Station. We can catch an historic tram from here to Loftus Station, or walk 3km on a fire trail beside the line. The cost of the tram is $6 Adult or $4 Concession.
