Completed

Walk

The Blythburn Cottage area has a history dating back to before 1839. The current stone building was built around 1885. Elizabeth Julia McKeahnie established an all female dairy and cattle station there around 1900. With permission from the land owner, we’ll walk out of Namadgi National Park, down beside Punch Bowl Creek and through White Horse Flat to visit the homestead. To return, we’ll circle SH1035 on fire trails and climb back up to Corin Road. Around 17km and 700vm climb. Please book.
