We loved the magnificent view, the vast green and massive beautiful trees. The kids loved to run up and down the hills. There are 2 BBQ stoves, sheds and toilet facilities. The toilets are reasonably clean.
Please note there's not bin at the park. You'll need to 'Take your Rubbish Home'. We did take our rubbish HOME, and into our own Rubbish Bin. :-)
We did a bush-walk after picnic lunch. It took us some moments to confirm that the first part of the track is to cross the grassy plain. See the map below, the walk we did is traced over in blue, it took us 2 hrs return. Some part of the track is quite steep, and because it was wet, the path was quite slippery. There is no bench along the path, but we managed to find a few tree logs / stumps for Mum to rest.

The only problem I found was to find the path and direction. I hope Park Victoria can make the signs clearer and better. To me, there wasn't enough track signs.
And because of this, I would highly suggest you to have your map ready (I had a softcopy map i.e. PDF file stored on my Smart Phone, downloaded from Park Victoria Website), the track guide map at the Information Display Board is barely informative. And you'll find wearing hiking boots help a lot.
(How would you like it to have picnic lunch facing such magnificent view?)
(This is where we started our walk)
(After 50-100m, the path is more visible)
(At the edge of of the grassy plain, there's a sign on the left).
(The stony road is Mathias Road)
(Follow Mathias Road, past "Red Dog Hut" on the left, you'll see this sign)
(We turned left onto Sequoia Track)
(Follow Sequoia Track to the end, you'll see the T section, and the Sign)
(This kookaburra accompanied us till Red Dog Hut)
(It was low-flying ahead of us, then stopped and waited, and flew again)
Great spot! Thanks
