Mount Glenrowan, Warby Ranges : May 16
This was an interesting variation on a tried-and-true venue, involving a loop down to Moonlight Track via Casuarina Track on the way to Mount Glenrowan.

The walk started with a steep descent down to the Wallaby Mine glory hole, restored battery stamp, and mine shafts. We then left this area…
