Bookings not required for Wed Walks. Mt Majura Circuit START TIME: 8:00 LEADER: John Kelly Mobile: 0400 581 303 WALK DESCRIPTION: As the forecast is for a hot day I aim to start early and finish before lunch. The walk is about 60/40 on and off track with some steepish ascents/descents on loose surfaces. There will be the odd fence to climb under or over. I recommend gloves for some of the off-track sections. The route will begin cross-country through the Majura horse paddocks, pick up the Centenary trail and head north for about two km and then ascend steeply on a rough track through woodland to Mt Majura Rd (we won't summit). From here we'll proceed to the Majura Pines for morning tea via a little used track passing farmlands in the Majura Valley. Yet more pines on firetrail and bushtrack to the twin Hackett dams, and back to the cars through flat open bush-land, behind the suburb Hackett. GRADING: M / E.
