Meet at the amenities block near Kookaburra Point behind the Kangaroo Store, Bonegilla at 8.00am. We will walk towards the Hume Dam until we reach Jackson's Point, and then return via a grassy hill and a dam wall. On the way out, half of the walk is on sand with the other half involving rock scrambling over some rocky outcrops (grade 4) and minor slopes will also need to be negotiated.
