We accessed the hill by walking up the ridge line that starts near the ford on Woolshed Road. After enjoying morning tea we followed the ridge generally north. At a suitable point we then headed down a spur line to Clear Creek, we continued up stream a short distance to a set of falls for lunch. With the recent rains these fall had plenty of water.
After a pleasant break we headed off downstream, often swapping from one side of the creek to the other to get the best going. Clear creek runs into the Reedy creek, and near the junction we found a spot that was shallow enough for s to cross in bear feet, the near knee deep water was quite cool. After drying off and putting boots back on we set off again. After a short distance a well used track was found on the Eastern side of Reedy creek, this made waking quite easy and gave me time to reflect on the miners who would have also followed this track to and from the diggings to Eldorado. The trip was finished of with Ice creams at the Eldorado store.
