The Jungle Circuit Walk - 17 February 2016

I had long seen this old track marked on maps but had never been along it until this trip. The track deviates off the track from Govetts Leap to the base of Bridal Veil Falls, close to the bottom and traverse under the cliffs to the jungle area below Horseshoe Falls. The track is no longer maintained and is quite overgrown. I followed orange tapes tied to trees - but on the circuit - these seemed to take a shortcut that deviates off the old track. After completing the circuit, I climbed back up to Govetts Leap and then returned to Blackheath via Popes Glen.
