Mt Glenrowan

Mt Glenrowan is an easy walk from the locked gate on the Taminick Gap road. This time instead of walking along the bitumen road that leads to the communication towers, we turn right onto a foot pad about 300m in from the gate.

This track leads across to the Casuarina track. Turning left then takes you back to the Ridge track near the large water tank. The Casuarina track offers good views to the west. Once at the water tank we continued along an old jeep track until it re-joined the Ridge track.

From here it is a simple matter of following the Ridge Track to the summit of Mt Glenrowan. Unfortunate for us it was a day of low cloud and some drizzle so the view across to the Victorian Alp’s was lost in the cloud, so we did not linger here for very long.

For a change we walked the 400m down the Bluff track to its end with some views across the plains to Lake Mokoan it was a pleasant spot for lunch. The return trip took us to Chick Hill and this time remaining on the Ridge track we returned to the lock gates and awaiting cars. No photo’s this time.
