TINDERRY PEAK Leader: Philip Gatenby (for NPA), contact 0401 415 446 or philip.gatenby@gmail.com The walk follows the Round Flat Fire Trail for a couple of kilometres before a steep climb to a spur with a number of rocky outcrops, then walk north-west for a further 2 km through scrub (which is thick in places), followed by a rock scramble to our high point, Tinderry Peak (1,619 m). The return route is mostly south and east from the peak, merging with the fire trail about a kilometre from the cars.
