Interpretation signs over the river provide information about the property and landscape.Deans Track to the summit of taytitikithika (Drys Bluff) commences from Oura Oura and passes into the Tasmanian World Heritage Area after a short distance.For a nice wander, take a ten-minute walk up this track until you reach a bridge over a creek, then retrace your steps.
