Thanks to Pete & Ron for the notes and track information for this walk.

Here are the notes for the MacGregor Peak
walk.
We were a very small group today of only
seven and we walked 9.5km in approx. 5hrs
led by Bob on a walk that some of us have
done previously.
It is an interesting walk with the odd “Wee
Hill”.
The most enjoyable part of this walk is the
period of time that is spent walking through
the rain forest across the top of MacGregor
Peak. It is not the king of forest that one
would normally associated with the Tasman
Peninsular.
It is also worth noting that the area of
rain forest is surrounded by a working forest
that has been logged for a long period of
time.
Comments from those undertaking this walk
were all positive and those who had not
visited this area before were pleasantly
surprised about the rain forest.
