Mt Blundell adit (Waitlist)

Mt Blundell adit (Waitlist)

Sat 18th Mar 2023

Completed

Walk

POIs include an adit and associated mining pits (I’m into holes at the moment) and the heritage listed remains of a World War II Italian internment camp. It’ll cost you walking on lots of fire trails. From Blue Range Rd, climb fire trails to Blue Ridge. Visit Uriarra trig and Mt Blundell. Just over the ACT/NSW border, descend 100vm through the bush to pits (careful, don’t fall in) and an adit used for gold, silver and lead prospecting. Return to the crest and visit Genges trig. Down in the valley, visit Blue Range Hut and take in its history. Around 12 km and 700vm climb. photo | Morning tea on the adit tailings 2008
