Mount Domain - the 'unofficial' new track (Photo, courtesy John Evans)
Sun 17th Aug 2025
Come with me up the always challenging Fishing Gap Fire Trail so that we can check out the 'new' track to Mt Domain. We'll get the chance to walk it before it's officially opened later in the year. Not many can say that. After Fishing Gap Fire Trail we'll hit the new track and meander through tall mountain gums, up a well-defined bushwalkers favourite footpad although this time we may see that it's been realigned to take advantage of natural rocks, timber and granite monoliths. Listen for lyrebirds and take in that beautiful fresh mountain air. We'll return via the same route. Suitable for most ages but you do need to be fit and some bushwalking experience is recommended. The track has steep hill sections and a rough surface. Poles would be handy.
This walk leaves from, and returns back to, Fishing Gap carpark.
You will need morning tea and lunch.
