Para Wirra – Lady Pearce Circuit
Walk grade
Summer Walks
Description

This 5.0km circuit hike explores the former mine workings of Victoria Hill, a scene of much activity in the late 1860s, and descends into the South Para River. The lower sections of the trail, in the south near the South Para River, are particularly rewarding.

This hike begins from the carpark on Allendale Road near Bowden Cottage.

Due to the fact that the park closes at sunset (which is 7.33 pm) we will need to be on the trail by 6pm to make sure we are off the trail before dusk.

Due to sunset being 7.33 pm on Wednesday 16 March and the park gates close at sunset I have had to change the route to enable us to park on a public road. I am hopeful that we will be finished well before dusk at 7:30 pm
