In recent years, there has been a daywalk in the Barney foothills on the Barney Mass day. This walk will be to Cronan’s Cascades. You will go along the track to the beginning of Peasant’s Ridge turnoff with the other parties (to the start of the track for those climbing to the Mass), but without going up that Ridge.

The track we’ll follow is along the old, original Mt Lindesay Coach Road (now replaced by the bitumen road a bit further south.) This path is well trodden and easily followed. We will walk through open eucalypt forest with patches of rainforest, with the occasional creek crossing. The way is not steep or rocky.

There will be an option on the day. Early-on, you can choose to go up to Yellowpinch Lookout where you will get great views of East Peak and Peasant’s Ridge where the Mass attendees will be going. However, you may prefer to walk with the Mass-goers at the outset and be part of their walk, thus bypassing this lookout, then leaving them to go to the Cascades.

Come with Michele and Greg on this tour of the foothills. Give us a call to chat about it, if you wish.
