Walks from Dearden Creek Track

Walks from Dearden Creek Track

map

parking spot: from Old Drummond Road, follow Dearden Creek Track to the Coliban Main Channel. Soon after the Channel Kemps Track is on the left hand side. A small turning circle around a tree to the right of the track provides parking for 2 or 3 cars.

Telecom Track circuit (1.5 hours)

From the parking spot follow Kemps Track. The track climbs then drops down fairly steeply to cross Kangaroo Creek, after which it climbs back up to high ground. After almost 2 km the track crosses the Telecom Track. This track is narrower, rougher and less distinct than Kemps. (photo here)

Turn right onto Telecom Track, dropping down to cross the southern arm of Kangaroo Creek then climbing to more even ground. Meet the Lower Kangaroo Track (no sign) which is a larger track and turn right. Follow this track back to Dearden Creek Track, then turn right and return to the parking spot. Note: in very wet weather the creek crossings on Lower Kangaroo Creek Track and Telecom Track may be difficult to navigate.
