McKeahnie Trig

Reconciliation Day public holiday – what better way to celebrate the caring for country by traditional owners than a walk in the bush. McKeahnie trig was built in 1896 by Surveyor R C Gordon. It sits atop high boulders and it’s thought that sapling ladders were constructed to get men and rocks up to the difficult site. It’s in the style of the grand old stone NSW trigs such as Gudgenby and Gooroo. Let’s visit! After leaving the Orroral Lookout trail near the intersection with the Square Rock Track, the route is off-track along a vague ridge. It was very scrubby last time I visited and is now probably choked with regrowth – I really have no idea, hence eXploratory. There is a final 100vm climb to the trig. Return the same way, visiting Square Rock if desire and time allow. Around 14km and 550vm climb. Last recce-d in 2017. Please book.
