**Godwin's Peak**  
Excellent walk - long day.  
Start at gate immediately past  
Saltwater Creek bridge - gate with "no entry" sign.

> *—\* walk of 6/6/71\. Gate open. Saltwater Creek main gorge looks interesting. Route shown for previous walks believed to be wrong.* 
> *B. Vanderbeld 10/6/71*

**Mt Halifax**

Very satisfying because of  
(a) pineapples patch at bottom  
(b) steep slopes .. height gained rapidly  
(c) reasonable track  
(d) superb views from the summit.  
(e) moderately difficult.

Rollingstone Creek Gorge should be excellent walking area.  
Fish plentifull.
