The road is dirt and suitable to 4x4 vehicls only. CMPA have carried out several cultural heritage assessments of the gorge over the years. The gorge was first open by European timber getters in the 1860s and several small hamlet community developed around timber mills at strategic sites along the road. The first meeting for the formation of a committee is planned for Tuesday 15 ctober , 4pm at the CWA Hall, Willow St. Killarney.
