This Track starts from Anlaby Road and travels along the ridge line to come out at Valley Road, However it's in two sections the first running from the Anlaby Road south for about 1km to Nikau Palm Road. then starts up again on the other side and goes for about 1.6ks to come thru a gate at the top off a Gravel driveway which leads down to Valley Rd. The first section is made up of mainly grass track(mowed) and gravel/grass vehicle track. The second section is climbing Gravel vehicle track, which travels down a steep farm track terminating near Valley Road. Please don't travel along the upper farm track towards the large house, as this is private property.
