Autumn 2024 #1 : Dainers Gap - Pretty Point via the wheel ruts - Return by the more direct route.
Distance : About 7 km return.
Walking conditions : Meadow walking.
Notes : A snow pole line used to run through this area, but has now been removed. It wasn't a great route for walking, but the visual aid was helpful. Recently, feral pigs were targeted at a few sites, and cage traps were placed for a period of time. Equipment was brought out to conduct the work, and the route taken can be discerned in many places as a set of grassy wheel ruts.
The route makes for an interesting approach to Pretty Point, and is the path of least resistance. Two swampy plains are crossed at sensible places, and the approach to Pretty point itself is from the south west.
On the return trip, after crossing the upper swamp along the fence line, we reach the Hunter view ridge near its high point. A short detour here gives access to the views from the highest rocks.
