Tuesdaywalk - Hamilton Range, Lavington; 7 km grade 3

A walk similar to last week but with a twist.

We will be doing a discovery walk in the Ungera region of the Hamilton Range

Hamilton Range is the extension of Nail Can Hill and the Main Ridge Trail that goes from Centaur Rd, Lavington to Urana Rd at the Jindera Gap. Often referred to as Bakes Trail.

 Nothing too steep, some off track exploring.

Meet at 8.30am on Centaur Rd, Lavington (gravel road end) where the Nail Can Hill Ridge Trail (that heads into Albury) meets the Hamilton Range Ridge Trail (that heads to the Jindera Gap).  

No toilets are near this walk, except back in Lavi town. 

dogs OK (but there are kangaroos and wallabies around)

Bring a morning tea snack. Coffee and cake afterwards in Lavi for those interested.

For any late cancellations, please call me on 0456 100 183.
