Video Google Earth Track Notes An unremarkable ramble up the Stockyard Spur Walking Track, morning tea on the slabs that look across to Mt Ginini, along the vehicle track to ‾400m E of the Mt Franklin Rd intersection, then down to the cascades on Snowy Flat Creek, just below the lip of the Flats. Persistent March flies made the breaks a little less pleasant than they could have been. Nice to meet Sean after we'd exchanged a few emails. Jenni brought a big pack and lots of weight, training for Kokoda. Summary Distance: 14.7km Climb: 900m. Time: 8.10am - 1.35pm (5hrs 25 mins), with 45mins of breaks. Walk Participants Mike B, Karen C, Jenni C, Stewart J, Richard M, Sean S, Ian W, me. Back to Walks Index This page last updated 1Sep22 |
