Route/Trail notes
A detailed description of the walk! Leave the carpark and take the Maculata Track. This winds around the side of the mountain until it reaches Bardon Track. Cross over and continue on the Maculata track which winds down to Bardon reservoir, a name which has delusions of grandeur. At this point follow the track right then left and start the Kulgan Cct. This track winds up towards the summit of the next hill. It then winds down an open rocky section to a track junction. The right hand track leads to Paten Rd. Take the left hand track which leads back to the reservoir. Retrace steps back to Bardon Track at which point turn right and follow Bardon Track past a communications tower to the completion of the walk. This walk drops 260m in vertical height and gains the same.
