Destination: Earnscleugh Autumn
Description: Two short walks in and above Earnscleugh coinciding with peak autumn colours. We'll start with a 4 km loop through the Aldinga Conservation Area above Conroy's Dam, visiting an old rock shelter and nearby sluicings. We'll follow this with lunch at what seems like a suitable place and then move on to the Earnscleugh Tailings where we'll walk one of several loop track options, ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on how much time we have available. See DoC's Alexandra brochure for more details. Note that the Conroy's Gully circuit involves two crossings of Conroys Creek; these will normally be easily negotiable in light footwear but dry feet are by no means guaranteed.
Walk leader: Martin Unwin
