Route/Trail notes

1. From the end of Wongawallan Drive. (1.5km return, 124m total ascent). Walk along the driveway to the nature reserve. From here follow the 4wd track along the ridge before climbing up a single track to the summit area where there is the deep hole (old mine shaft). The track then forks, right takes you to the lookout; left goes further downhill for more fire trails. No looping fire trail so return the way you came.

2. From the end of Crystal Creek Rd. (4km return, 300m total ascent). Track starts near the Crystal Creek Reserve Sign. From here you'll continue to follow a fire trail all the way to the top. There are several step and rocky sections. When you come to a T intersection turn left for the final ascent. Once at the top there are some pink ribbions guiding to the mineshaft, or you can follow the overgown (grass) path towards the lookout. You should be able to find the mineshaft/lookout by continuing in either direction. Return back the same way you came.

3. From the end of Blacks Rd. (#km return, ###m total ascent). ...
