Quite a long time later I’ve eventually done this hike. I did a loop from Black Flat starting on Cameron and going onto Freeway, camping at the Northern Remote campsite and returning on Meridian and then Tyakil. Yes, the Freeway track is quite boring because you don’t get much view and the vegetation is almost all low pines. The Meridian is very much nicer due to more varied vegetation and plenty of views, and then the last part on Tyakil is a narrow track so a pleasant change from the MVO tracks. I did it in the rain and maybe because of this there was absolutely nobody around. I found the campsite to be ok and lots of kangaroos came to visit. I also did, separately, the Casuarina loop from Casuarina campsite; this is possibly a nicer campsite although vehicle accessible, however I wouldn’t recommend the walk in comparison with my time in the southern part of the park.
