Continue along the main track and ignore other side circuit tracks on the right side of the track. Walk through the bush past a small creek & boardwalk (3) until you reach an open area (4). This was a bush airstrip for the Green family farm. At the other end of the airstrip is the site of the Green family farmhouse (2).You will see good views over the Main Creek valley and Bass Strait from here.
