Last century Outward Bound named a knoll north of Mt Tennent ‘Mt Evans’, so I’ve been told. Wanna visit this magnificent 1008m scrubby knoll? From the Namadgi Visitors Centre, take the AAWT to the northern end of Bushfold Flats. Visit several European settler sites including Duncan McKeahnie's 1884 Hut site, Dunns’ 1910 hut site and Russell and Muriel Read's 1957 Hut site. Then off-track to ‘Mt Evans’. Return via the spur that runs north from Mt Tennent and down the usual track. Around 17km and 780vm.
