Leave the car park, cross the bridge at O'Briens Crossing and turn right onto a walking track signposted as Lerderderg East with an Emergency marker LER 300 next to it.
Half Day Walk (Winter is coming): Following the river downstream along the Lerderderg East Walk track and return the same way. Unable to do the planned loop (Lerderderg East track - Cowan Track - O'briens Rd - Short Out Tk - O'briens Rd car park: 13.4km) due to some rough terrain and short daylight in Winter. The narrow track is reasonably well-maintained, but a bit slippery because it rained a fair bit the last few days. In addition, we are a party of two, who are over 60 years old and tried to avoid the cliff and some steep climb from the river. Also, the river path and surrounding views were so inviting; hence, we didn't mind back tracking.
