Walk Details

There will be a short car shuffle before we start the walk (8 minute drive each way).

This last club walk of the year is along very flat terrain following the MacKenzie River from Zumsteins Picnic Area to the Wartook Valley Trailhead. This trail, once known as the Back Track, was a busy route used by squatter families, traders, and construction workers who were building the Wartook Reservoir. We will visit Dad and Dave’s Weir which is used to divert water to the treatment plant at Mount Zero and then on to Horsham. The weir features a fish ladder designed to help fish and platypus move up and down the river. We will end the day with refreshments in Halls Gap.

Be aware that the MacKenzie Falls area is closed for renovations.
