Hike summary

A pleasant return hike with excellent views over the plains all the way to the Alps.

From the car proceed along the dirt road near the creek for a few hundred yards till you come to a locked gate. There is a gap in the fence on the right and follow the signposted Nason Track up the hill till you come to a sealed road. Keep going upwards till you reach a fenced off building, when you take the path to the right.

Stay on the Ridge Track, ignoring other signposted tracks such as Casuarina, Chick Hill & Bluff. You will reach a sign warning of "Risk of Fire Entrapment, approval required to enter." This is for fire trucks, not hikers. You are fine to proceed past it to the top of Mount Glenrowan. There are good views over the township below and the big lump of Mount Buffalo in the distance. Return on the same path.

Let someone know before you go

It’s a good idea to let someone know where you’re going. Fill in a trip intention form to send important details about your trip to your emergency contact. If you are lost or require help and have phone reception, call 000 and ask for police. The international standard emergency number is 112, if you dial this number in Australia you will be treated exactly the same as a 000 call. If you believe your life is at risk, activate your personal locator beacon (PLB), then make your position visible to rescue teams and keep warm and dry.
