Starting from the parking area at Measdays Lookout on Mount Barker Road, Crafers West, this walk takes you on a circuit through the southern end of the Cleland Conservation Park. As you descend to the gully, you’ll reach the lovely creek and follow it through its length before crossing it and returning along the other side. This hike involves several creek crossings, so be sure to wear appropriate footwear. The tracks are generally wide and well-formed, with some uneven and rocky sections. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
