Yackandandah Escarpment : February 7

The Yackandandah Escarpment extends southwards from Yackandanah township, and is renowned for its beautiful open forest, and great views.

As usual, we met at Rotary Park, and then travelled in convoy to the start, the junction of Skeleton Hill Track and Lancashire Gap Road. The…
