This 4WD track leads from the coast up to the stellar vantage point and views of Whoota Whoota Lookout in Wallingat National Park.
The midsection of the Freshwater Trail is quite steep and will test your fitness, and since it is so steep you are unlikely to encounter any vehicles on it. There is an optional 300m or so of trail after the lookout, but it simply leads to an indistinct clearing. Views are truly fantastic on clear days from the lookout and make the hard ascent worth it.
