WOMBAT STATION RIDE
SUNDAY, APRIL 9TH 2017
Ride Description
This is a lovely easy ride through stunning bushland, starting out on the old railway line and then onto the Wallaby Track we make our way to Sailor’s Falls for lunch, (bring your own saddle bag lunch and drink), then back through the bush to floats.
The terrain is gentle and undulating, nothing challenging, just bush tracks, dirt and gravel roads, suitable for barefoot horses, boots at rider’s discretion. It is about a 2-hour ride to the lunch spot, and another 2 hours’ ride back to the floats.
Float Parking: It is best to search google maps for "Wombat Station Track", as we will all be approaching from different directions. Parking will be near the Rocklyn Road Rotunda, which is easily seen from the road. If you are having trouble, please feel free to contact Jeanie. It is essential to nominate if attending this ride.
