Nierinna Creek 2020

 

Nierinna Track Walk 13 October 2020

Today's walk was undertaken in fine sunny weather although it was a bit of a cold start and when in an exposed part of the walk the wind was cool.

The walk up Nierinna Creek was somewhat wet and as you can tell from the photos that there was a lot of time avoiding the muddy parts on the track prior to the first hill.

From then on until we turned of Van Morey Road back to the Margate River Track it was relatively dry.

We followed our previous track up to Lawless Road, Nierinna Road and Tabors Road until we reached the Tramway Hill Reserve and Track back down via Van Morey Road and the Margate River Track to the start.
