Slope summary:
The majority of the walk is mostly flat with three main significant slopes. The first 500m is flat, then there is a 30m downhill section with a max steepness of 21%( ~ 12°) which is very steep for wheelchair users. After flattening out there is then a 30m uphill section with a max steepness of 32% ( ~ 17.7°). If taking the alternate exit (to avoid the narrow gate exit), there is a 5m asphalt ramp that is 43% (~ 23.3°) uphill (extremely steep for someone in a wheelchair). To access the toilets, car park and oval at the far end requires either passing up this ramp or passing the gate (35cm gap). As this a return walk, these sections need to be repeated. Turn around whenever you feel is best.

Surface summary:
The majority of this walk follows a rough (rocky) management trail (locked dirt road). The first ~80m is on a smooth flat concrete path, 1.2m wide. The next ~50m is across a flat open mown grassy field. The rest of the walk follows a wide rocky management trail along the ridge, the trail is firm and has minimal cross slope. The steep sections are the roughest with some shallow eroded gullies. For agile people using a wheelchair, assistance is likely needed in places.
