Hi BW. I was there a few weeks ago. A few bits are a tad overgrown, but not a problem. The pad was obvious in most places, a little climby over and under horizontal in a few spots, and it's a highway in other places. It's much easier than having to push through anything thick. I wouldn't do it with wet vegetation, though, as you'd get satched pretty quickly. We really enjoyed it - another under-rated walk. Just don't be so engaged in conversation and checking out Mt Mueller that you miss the very obvious cairn marking the start of the walking track. :roll:
