Mt Majura Nature Reserve III

This walk in the Mt Majura Nature Reserve involves a combination of fire trails, foot pads and significant amount of off-trail walking across an undulating landscape with some steep to very steep sections and rocky/grassy slopes that may be slippery and/or unstable under foot. A walking pole(s) might be useful at times and gaiters and/or long pants a must to protect legs. The linear distance of 11km with an adjustment for elevation gain of 450m makes this equivalent to a 15.5km track walk. Given the nature of the terrain (surface, vegetation, steepness) and the length/elevation gain/loss the hike is likely to be moderately demanding, take approximately 4hrs to complete and best suited for walkers with a moderate level of fitness, whom are interested in nature connection, are comfortable walking off track, and completed successfully at least one hike of 10-12km in the past month. Nature Connection: This walk intentionally balances social interaction with brief, guided periods of quiet, attentive walking and a short 'sit spot.' These moments are designed to support a deeper engagement with the landscape. Conversation is warmly welcomed at all other times.
