The track is most easily accessed from Barokee campground. Follow the circuit clockwise and hike through sub-alpine woodland to the summit turnoff.
At the posted turnoff, you then hike up Cathedral Rock to sit on a natural throne, perched on 200m of stacked boulders. Rock-hopping is the scientific term for what you’ll be doing for much of the next 400m as you clamber over boulders and straddle crevices.
Return along the same route from the summit to the turnoff and then continue following...

This is the longer route to get to Cathedral Rock, but is also a great day walk in its own right. It is near Ebor, New South Wales.
This trail which is moderate and through sub-alpine woodland for the vast majority of it. The harder sections are near the end at the rock with a 300 metre climb to Woolpack peak and a 500 metre climb to Cathedral Rock summit.
