Winston (Winston_FJ) Just a quick run down of the tracks I'm looking at taking. This is very fluid as I've never been to Tallarook and don't know how hard some of these will be.
Starting in via Davis Rd, air down right at the end and head onto Jenkin Track. Up Jenkin 1, down Jenkin Link, left onto Stony Creek Track, then onto Horans. Right onto Tehan 6, left onto Tehan 5 back to Horans, then right onto Tehan 4, left onto Tehans 3 or 2 - let's see. Then around to Brandy Corner Tk, up to the camping ground just at the start of Army Tk where we may stop for lunch if the timing is right. Continue on and stop to walk Steep Track. We will check it out and if it's doable then we will give it a crack. If not, we will keep going along Bridge Tk (if some wany to do Steep we can separate and meet around further at the top).
Onto Falls Creek Track, Reservoir Track and up around the top of the park. Back down to Freeman camp site via West Falls and any one of a number of different tracks, just see what looks fun. Might try going right into Cable track and see if we can get around the bog hole, then around Mt Hickey Tk to Magazine Tk. Climb up back towards the camping area, left at Main, left again at Gravel Pit then take a steep climb up Caddell Tk, right onto Mountain Tk towards our finish at Ennis Tk for air up and bragging rights on who took the best line for the day.
Also, I'm bringing my drone (professional model) and want to get some footage of the group on some steep or challenging tracks. Will slow up proceedings for a very short while, only talking about an extra 5 minutes here or there at a maximum of 3 tracks across the day.
Guys please just bring your lunch and drinks for the day, toilet paper for pit stops, and remember we take home everything we bring with us.
Safety and fun are the most important elements of the day, and respecting the park so that it continues to be open for us in the future.
I've added a high res photo of the park map in the files section so feel free to save that to your phones or tablets.
Any queries please don't hesitate to contact me.
