This is a pleasant walk through State Forest on maintained forestry roads. Drive from Kempsey via Frederickton to Tamban Forest in Collombatti.
Park at the corner of Range Road and Bakers Road. Walk in an anti-clockwise circuit about 1.7 kilometres along Range Road. Turn left onto Cooks Road, walk 600 metres. Turn left again and walk 1.7 kilometres along Jocks Road. Left once more and walk 500 metres on Bakers Road back to the start.
At the corner of Cooks Road and Jocks Road, there is a possible short extension of less than 1 kilometre by turning right on Jocks Road to a lovely creek and return to the corner of Cooks Rd.
