Overall rating
  • I have just got back in from doing this hike, and wasn’t sure if I was complete off the trail, or had the markers gone… turns out the markers were gone., but its also likely that I was off track. If you head directly west from the stone marker, you can see the narrow trail where the tree line starts.
    Most of the trail is fairly identifiable for the first kilometer, but once you start the Bakery Wall section the track disappears fairly quickly. The comments about grow back since the fires makes sense now.

    I was able to navigate my way down using Google Maps and the sun, but there was no real trail to speak of. Definitely wouldn’t attemp it doing snake season.

    As a local in this area, a Bushwalker and a member of Friends of Chiltern mount pilot park I would like to make an update to the informaiton here. The fire tower has not been there for many years. Since the fires in the early 2000s forest regrow has been dense and completely changed the landscape. Any infrastructure that was wooden was burned and not replaced eg pegs, black stump.

  • It’s worth noting that the fire tower has been removed some time ago, but the directional marker/dial is still there as seen in the 12th photo.
