Introduction

Rock shelters, an open tussock plateau and tops with superb views, combine to make this an interesting overnight tramp with options for children.

The access road into the Mount Arthur area (Graham Valley Road) is steep and narrow and prone to corrugations and slips – check any alerts for road status. During the winter months a 4WD vehicle is recommended to access Flora carpark. Chains may be needed if snow and ice are present
