Description |
It takes a lot of getting to, for a short walk, though perhaps driving over Skippers Saddle is part of the fun. If you want to have a longer walk, you can also take in Bullendale Track, which is nearby. The track itself zigzags up the hill to the remains of the the Leviathan Mine, which include what's left of a quartz stamping battery, as well as the aerial tramway and the blocked-up mine entrance. |
