Walton Park Loop Walk

This morning we decided to close the loop on two previous walks. The first walk we had done was out along the road and in a little way to a small hill.

Yesterday morning we had walked down the river along delightful waterholes following a scant track. When I looked at the map I noticed that we had a cross country of only about 350m to connect.

A bold plan was hatched. At least bold for us. We would retrace the river walk and then cross over to the end point of the previous walk and return to our camp via the road.

The walk down the track was easy with nice scenery and lots of early birds. A bit before the last of the track I decided to put an eye in the sky and get better bearings. There was a reasonable roo trail along the ridge. I could see that going on a bit further would put us over a rougher walk.

The cross country was quite easy and we connected easily to the other track. The whole walk took a leisurely 1hr 22m for the just over 3k distance. This walk through river and spinifex was a nice start to our day.Read more
