28. Belmont Park - Dry Creek Loop

January 31

We started this track at the point where it intersects with the Boulder Hill track. From this point it was a nice gentle downwards track.

You come to a point where there is steep descent and you can start to hear the creek. But then the track goes back up just as steeply as you came down. And it just keeps going. You are following a 4 wheel drive path and you cant really see beyond the trees and scrub on either side so it isn't very thrilling.

The final descent is very steep and the track is very rocky. I ended up walking on the very edge where the gravel had built up just so that I could sink my feet in a bit. The walk back through the dry creek reserve area was quite pleasant - we stopped to pick a handful of blackberries.

9 500 steps (would be 13 500 if we had started at the car park)
