G’day all,
On Sunday I thought I’d take a leisurely stroll out the Hoddles track and check the flow of the Nattai river from above as I haven’t been this end of town before.
On reaching the terminus of the 4 lane fire trail and being injured that’s all I planned to do but I can’t help myself and thought “bugger it” and decided to go down to get a frogs eyes view of the river in full swing. ...where is the track? I’m sure I’ve read somewhere there is a track off this point but I couldn’t find track, cairn, tape or footprint. It was no problem entering the valley I just picked my way off the furthest reaching rocky outcrop, dropped off and bashed my way down to the water. But I’d rather follow an established track rather than disturb settled ground.
Also about midway along there’s a small farm road that branches off to the left, I followed this for awhile until it turned into impenetrable weeds where I bashed Back up onto the ridge again hoping to meet the road...which I did. Anyone know where that ends up?
