About the Walk

Overview

A pleasant walk on the edge of the forest with a good variety of vegetation, animals and birdlife.  Orchids and other wildflowers in spring.  Note: As at August 2012 this walk is closed due to storm damage.  Check with Parks Victoria prior to visiting this area for updated information.

The Walk in Detail

From the carpark , walk back on the track you have just driven in on to the end of the campground and turn left and walk to the end of that track.  Turn left again on to the Jimmy Smith track, a rough 4wheel drive track, and follow this into the bush,  passing a farm paddock on your right.

Ignore the track that follows the fenceline on the right, and continue up the hill, taking the right fork as you go.  The track rises gently, coming to another right fork. Take this and continue on it until coming to another  boundary fence.

Turn right and follow this track as it continues mostly along the fence line back to the first junction.  Turn left back to Jimmy Smiths road and back to the cars.

In spring look out for orchids and other wild flowers.

Travel west through Beaufort for 11.8 km and turn right onto Ferntree Gully Road.  Follow this for 7.5 km, ignoring any side roads, until you enter the Mt Buangor State Park.  The first turn left will take you to Middle Creek camping ground.
