Transmission Gully Views – Labour Day walk with Park Ranger UPDATE
Mon 22 Oct. Start time: 9.30am sharp, Hill Rd carpark
It is important to get there a bit before – because participants will be allowed to drive through the gate & up a section of the farm road normally closed to the public. This will allow us to park at the start of the walking route across county. Although this is an easy walk there is a moderate hill climb to start & some smaller up/down sections. Because of the gate arrangements all vehicles will return at the same time. Friends & guests welcome
Bring: all-weather gear, lunch/snack/drink
Cancellation: notice by 7am on this site.
