A small party walked this delightful eight kilometre track, while also carrying out several pieces of “research” over the three hours we spent in our special park.
The route covered Wenham’s Camp – Mount Warby – Salisbury Track – Alpine Views, and then back to the start.
We checked phone/ability to get the internet along the route, with good connection available soon after we left Wenham’s to climb Mount Warby, but it soon deteriorated.
The many Grass Trees within 30 metres of the track were checked for signs of dieback – none had obvious health problems!!
We also analysed the quality of signage – both directional and interpretive. Some repair is needed, with no phone coverage available to use online maps.
