Chasm Creek Track

This short walk is easily dismissed, yet it offers a variety in a small package.

The walk follows the line the Westport-Seddonville Railway which has since been dismantled (the railhead is now at Ngakawau), starting at a small rise where the line once crossed the road. From here it continues through a deep cutting squeezed between the road and river, affording nice views of Warrigal Island. A variety of orchids grow along the track, and a rich tapestry of mosses coat the side of the cutting. The track soon passes through a tunnel (glowworms at night) then on through regenerating scrub before meeting the road just premature of the Seddonville pub.
