Log Bridge Creek to Four Trees Road
The six-metre-high rock formation of Pompey Pillar is a dramatic landmark on the hike from Log Bridge Creek road to Four Trees Road. The Track is a mixture of fire trail and single track, with the single track following the different valleys of the two creek lines. It is a very interesting section with a variety of scenery and topography.

Walking notes

The Track follows along the edge of pine forest from Log Bridge Creek Road before entering native forest and following the southern side of the rocky Millers Creek valley. It then crosses over into the Pompey Pillar Creek valley which is generally shaded and cool. There is a long climb out of the valley back up onto fire trail once more before a steep descent down to Four Trees Road on single track.
