Destination: Bendigo Reserve via Mt Koinga access
Description: A walk into the Bendigo Reserve via the Mt Koinga Track, starting from the picnic area / boat launching ramp / parking area on SH8 1 km below the north end of Lake Dunstan. This climbs 150 m to the Reserve boundary from where 4WD tracks gain another 400 m as they wind through thick stands of kanuka to meet the high point of the Kanuka Loop Track. Steep in places but with a return walking distance of just 7 km we'll have plenty of time to take it slowly and take in a Tarras cafe stop on our return.
Walk leader: Martin Unwin
