Description

I last hiked to Gibraltar Peak on 8 June 2016, but the route taken this time was different. Instead of following the walking track to the peak I walked through the scrub up a ridge. This proved to be quite difficult as the terrain was steep and the scrub in places was quite thick. On the way back I followed the walking trail.
