Terrick Terrick Circuit Walk, Terrick Terrick National Park - February 2023

I was off early again today.

I was happy to be walking under a blue sky this morning - it was pouring with rain back in Melbourne.

A couple of minutes after leaving the ute and I was on the 197 metre summit of Mt Terrick Terrick.

I'm heading this way

Walking the rock slabs around Mt Terrick Terrick.

Once off the rock slabs I was walking through this beautiful dry open woodland.

There are some random rocky outcrops scattered through the forest.

Native Pines - Terrick Terrick National Park.

Towards the north end of the park I picked up this quiet track.

Heading for the northern boundary of the park I dropped by this nice over hang.

My off piste walking was almost finished now.

I'm following Rogers Track north-ish now.

Centre Track - Terrick Terrick National Park.

I didn't see another person all day.

According to AllTrails I walked around 20 kilometres and climbed about 278 metres on what I'd call a medium grade stroll. Around the first third of this walk is off piste - the country is very pleasant to walk across however you still need to be able to navigate a bit. Once I joined the tracks up at the north end of the park I was mostly walking 4wd tracks - some were closed to vehicles however most were open although I didn't see anyone else on my walk. This walk would make for a nice overnight walk although I'm not sure what the legality of bush camping in the park is - the camping itself would be very nice though. I used an AllTrails map for this walk although I freelanced quite a bit from their route.

Clem's Corner Walk - January 2023

I was off to another early start this morning.

While the Rawnsley Park Camping area was pretty quiet there were a few Roos out and about enjoying the early morning temperature.

I contoured the sides a the hills as I headed towards Kangaroo Gap.

The open slopes around Kangaroo Gap looked nice in the early morning light.

Following the creek back towards the Rawnsley Park Camp.

According to my AllTrails App I walked around 6 kilometres and climbed about 142 metres on this easy walk this morning. This is another walk at Rawnsley Park so once again I'm thinking that you would probably have to be staying here to access the track. I walked counter clockwise this morning to get the camp ground section out of the way first and leave the Elder Range views for later, which seemed to work for me. I downloaded and used the AllTrails map along with a mud map I picked up from reception at Rawnsley Park this morning.

Chambers Gorge Walk - December 2022

Looking back up to Mt Chambers - I'd climbed it earlier this morning.

I pencilled this one in for a swim on my return walk.

There was a lot of water (relatively speaking) in Chamber Gorge on this visit.

The gorge is fairly open and easy to walk through.

The scenery gets fairly epic through here.

Chambers Gorge.

This waterhole was probably the best swimming option on the walk, although I gave it a miss today because I wasn't keen to walk back all the way to the ute with muddy feet.

The little black dots on the scree are feral goats.

These indigenous engravings are in a side gorge running north off the main gorge.

Most of the engravings are near a small waterfall.

It was stinking hot by the time I got back naer the ute so I enjoyed a bit of soak before the long dusty drive home.

I didn't have to worry about crowds skinny dipping out here!

Time to head home.

The Dirt.

According to AllTrails I walked about 6 kilometres and climbed about 113 metres on what I'd call an easy walk. Now, while I've called it easy it is all off track with no marking or sign posting - and it is a fairly hostile environment so that needs to be taken into account. You can walk through the main gorge for a fair while however eventually the country starts to flatten out and you'll be walking into the never never - I normally walk 2.5 to 3 kilometres each way and that seems to get the best of the scenery. The indigenous etchings are along a small side gorge just after the informal car park. I used my AllTrails map today.
