The “Total Time” is my time in Dec which includes lunch time and breaks. That day was fine. Track was dry. Workman Track before bush line was overgrown. We spent some time looking for route before and after the fork. If you slow down to average 3 km/h plus 90 minutes stop then the total time will be around 9.5 hrs.
