March 13 - Mt Egerton Bushwalk

Because of the ongoing closure of the Sailor’s Creek walk, we will walk instead at MT EGERTON.

Meet at Llanberris at 8.20 for an 8.30am departure, or at the Mt Egerton Recreation Reserve at 9am. The Llanberris car park can be found on Eureka St opposite the LT Fraser Reserve. It is near the roundabout on Main Rd. The Recreation Reserve can be entered off Reserve Rd E from Main Rd, Mt Egerton.

Grade: B - mostly unmade road or marked bush tracks. A couple of interesting hills but generally an easy walk. Poles would be useful.

Distance: 8.5kms

Bring morning tea - optional lunch back at the Reserve.

We will walk from the reserve along a rough bush track, past the Mt Egerton State Gold Battery, before crossing Main Rd to some of the lesser known roads of Mt Egerton township. This part of the walk has some very nice views. Having crossed the Yendon Egerton road once more, we will stop for morning tea at the old cemetery, which was first gazetted in 1872. From there we head into the bush and up Mt Egerton before heading back to the reserve, which has toilets and an undercover picnic area for lunch.
