After participating in Mick Websters walk on Sat 29th why not join me for an overnight camp in the park followed by a delightful 7km half day walk?  along a route you will never have walked before- the Tuan track modified and in reverse  which goes something like this - Tuan campsite, Gillmans, indistinct track, Arnies track, Wallaces Gully track with a visit to some puddling pits, Depot Rd, Bartleys paddock, through the bush from Bartleys to Bartleys Track, Tuan Track, Tuan campground

Check out the reconstructed model of a puddling pit used to extract gold from clay

If you just want to join for the walk and not the car camp thats fine.

We will have a poletop camera on board we can use to check nestboxes en route through Bartleys paddock

Note there are no amenities at Tuan Campground apart from a table and fireplace - BYO water and food - toilet facilities about 2km away in Chiltern township
