Maratoto To Golden Gross Sept 14th
This track follows an old miners track so it's a nice gradient. But it does criss cross the Maratoto Stream so it is quite rocky and could be slippery. I recommend trekking poles.
At the Golden Cross end is a picturesque tailings dam. The area has a lot of mining history, old starting in 1895 and more recent in the 1980's.
If we have time on our return some of the group may like to climb up Maratoto rock, it is very distinctive thrusting up beside the river, near our car park. We can go part way.
If we do the Rock it will be about 6 hrs on track, including lunch.
As per usual we will depart Mill Lane 7:30. We will decide nearer the time if we take cars or hire a van.
Transport, $30 Members & $35 Non-members
