Walk

This walk starts with a round of the very pleasant Rendezvous Creek Track. The track provides access for further walking up the creek valley. Then, depending on the clearance of vehicles available, we either walk or drive the Old Boboyan Road to Yankee Hat car park. From there, we walk a loop around the feature to the SW on old fire trails and the Old Boboyan Rd.
Points of interest include Ready Cut Cottage, views to Gudgenby Homestead, an old stone wall, axe grinding grooves (see photo), the confluence of Bogong Creek and Middle Creek forming the start of the Gudgenby River, Foresters Hut, Frank and Jacks Hut and stockyard and dip, an indigenous site. The pièce de resistance will hopefully be a visit to a site described as a ‘brick factory’ by geocacher Tankengine and recently pictured in a Tim the Yowie Man article. Around 21km and 450vm climb, with wet feet walking through the two Hospital Creek fords. Subtract around 8km and no wet feet if we can drive into Yankee Hat car park, making 13km and 450vm.
When booking, please indicate whether you can offer to drive a higher clearance 4WD/AWD vehicle.
