WogWog to Burrumbeet Brook overnight bushwalk - Intermediate level

For most people, this hike is easy to moderately physically demanding, involving some assents and descents on a (grade 4) tracked route. If it is sunny you can see the coast which is more than 30km away from Corang Peak. This is our first visit to this area following the extensive bushfires which raised the area several years ago.
