NOTE: This walk was changed as Huon Hill was closed for maintenence until 21 Sept. Shifted the walk to the nearby rail trail and the Kiewa River.

Meet at Whytes Road picnic area, Bandiana at 8.30am. Car pool to the start of the walk as there is very limited car parking at the trail head. 

We will be following the Stringybark Track up and back (including the short summit track), in total, 6 km return. We will start at the park entry point at the cattle grid. 

Toilets are available at the top of Huon Hill.
