This is a great walk if you want to feel on top of a mountain but don't want to climb one. The drive to the start point takes you up onto the Little Forest Plateau. After turning off the Princes Hwy the road is dirt except for the steeper sections which are tar. The drive is about 30 minutes from Milton. The walk starts out along a service track but you soon turn off to the right and the track narrows . The track cuts through swampy heath and then basically follows the cliff line around to the western side of the plateau. Parts of the walk cross open rock sections. Along these sections yellow dots have been painted to keep you on track. They are pretty easy to follow and if you have young children with you they could be put in charge of navigating. The track ends on a rock platform with great views to the south and west. It doesn't actually take you to the top of Mount Bushwalker but it isn't much of a mountain so just enjoy the view and then head back to the carpark. If you have time there are some interesting small waterfall sections where water runs across the rock and through small pools. It is possible to get down below these rock platforms and do a bit of exploring.
