Parking at the corker trail, it takes around 2 hours to walk to the tops,
the walk never really seems like its over with the tops themself a mix of mountain peaks with swamps in between
In the wet it's wet, even a day after rain the corker trail can still be flowing with water making your shoes wet by the top.
In the dry it's a well shaded walk which can be quite difficult if a hot day
It can be done as a day walk to Careys peak with a light pack for a day walk or pack a bit heavier and make it a challenging weekend camp.
If heavy rain is forecast be careful if in a 2wd car as the road will become hard to navigate.
I do not recommend doing the corker rail during heavy rain or wind.

Best to go from Feb-Nov, aka anytime that's not summer as the UV gets pretty bad once you're up the top. In winter it has a chance of snowing and almost always goes below zero so I'd recommend bringing really warm clothes.
