Sounds fun.
Don't be too long or you might end up missing the Zook.

we were going to walk over the top of the ranges, above the bush line, but we had to can this plan due to gale force winds and a lot of rain. still ended up very wet on the second day though
loved every bit of it, but am also happy to be back, so I can work on the suzuki again. work starts again monday too

Looks nice, and good to hear you are having nice summer weather!
We went over a similar bridge when out walking. The wife didn't like it when me and my son started bouncing it! They seem to be built everywhere when in the "bush".

When I last went walking in Snowdonia I used the crib route off snowdon. Didn't do much for my undies!!
