Description

Note well: we are walking this weekend out of the normal order

Saturday - Webb Gap to Burra Rd: The trail continues along the Tothill Range, providing expansive views over the surrounding farmland and Apoinga Lagoon.

Sunday - Gerkie Gap to Webb Gap: This section of the trail follows the Tothill Ranges, which boast the largest remaining section of remnant scrub in the area and are one of the delights of the Mid-North. There are pleasant vistas over the surrounding farmland, with constant reminders of 19th century optimism and 21st century technology.

Monday - Peters Hill to Gerkie Gap: A pleasant walk along back roads through undulating farmland to the southern end of Tothill Range, taking in the town of Marrabel and its memorial to the famous buckjumper ‘Curio’.
