Starting from the front of Galbraith Store, Cossack, this walk takes you on a stroll in Cossack Historic Town. You can enjoy the beautiful landscape and observe the fine examples of early Australian buildings that have been restored. The area is especially appealing for historians and archeologists. There are certain facilities and a cafe in the town. It is also possible to go paddling and fishing as well. Be aware of the unprotected wells and private land and try not to follow unmarked paths. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
