An old logging tramway runs east to Port Craig. This is not the rough bush tramway affair you ay expect but a broad railway base on a surveyed line with cuttings, embankments and tall viaducts more reminiscent of a major rail line. The rails have gone but sleepers and railway spike remain to frustrate the tramper.

A private staff hut is passed at the first major viaduct - Percy Burn. The tramway ends at Port Craig School.

2-3 hrs
