Destination: Flat Top Hill Track
Description: A very scenic 10 km walk through the Flat Top Hill Conservation Area above Alexandra, hopefully coinciding with peak flowering of the thyme and Californian poppies. From the Butchers Dam car park we climb to a lunch spot on an eyrie-like crag 350 m above Lake Roxburgh, from where we'll walk south along the crest of Flat Top Hill before returning to the cars. Vehicle drivers should note that the most direct route to Butchers Dam is to cross the Clutha River at Clyde and then proceed via Conroys Road 5 km along the Earnscleugh Road.
