Description

Weano Gorge offers a challenging Class 5 scramble over boulders and through narrow passages and wading through pools to Handrail Pool. From the Weano car park follow the trail to the edge of the Weano Gorge, then down the steep, irregular steps to the bottom. Here, high walls of rock tower above you. As the gorge narrows, the trail changes from Class 3 to Class 5. Take care as you negotiate the slippery rocks on your climb down to the chilly waters of Handrail Pool. Enjoy the view of the cavern from above the pool and turn back if you don't think you can make it back up. Please tell the ranger if you intend to walk further than Handrail Pool. Distance: 1km return Time: Allow 1 hour Difficulty: Class 5 No camping or overnight parking allowed.
