We woke up to glorious sunshine and clear blue sky. We returned to Echo Point along the Prince Henry Cliff walk, then descended into the valley down the Giant Staircase, past The Three Sisters Honeymoon Bridge into the depths of the valley.

Many had taken the world's steepest railway to get to the broadwalk through the forest at low level, a trip we had done previously. After a snack we ascended the Furbey steps to the summit adjacent to our camp site. All in all the three hour walk required us to climb over 1600 upward steps, we did not count the downward ones .
