There is a composting toilet to the right of the steps.

Heading back up towards High View Rd, we turn right after walking 160m onto Old Wagstaffe Trail for 400m, then right onto [Flannel Flower Walking Track](https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/flannel-flower-walking-track).
