Continue to follow the track until reaching another junction (the loop) from which you will turn right following the loop in a anticlockwise direction. At about the half way point around the loop you should reach the lookout which will allow for some great views of the local area before continuing along the track back to the junction and back down the track to the camping area where you started to compete the walk.
