Out to ladder rock lookout
After crossing the dam wall at 3km, find the main unsealed path heading back downstream. This is where people get stuck usually. Only follow this for a few hundred metres at most, there is a sharp right turn onto a single trail that takes you uphill, this is the turn to make. If you don't make the turn, you will end up crossing the river, this means you have gone too far. All mapping after that turn is approximation only, not the actual trail (can't see it on the map). But just stay on the main trail, ignore any turns off it onto other paths (there are a few), and stay the course. From memory, at about 7km you come to a clearing in open bushland, with campfire remains. Keep on going over to the downhill side of the clearing (it is a small clearing), and you will hopefully see a very small single trail which will take you about 100m or less to a ladder bolted onto a big boulder. Climb this to see the lookout. - a 4.6 mi running route in Atherton, Australia
