Archived trip from old website run by JoLee
An easy day walk to square rock with some nice views along the way overlooking orrorall valley.
Here's the trip description from the Tams website.
The Square Rock Walk (8.5 km return, moderate) rewards the
visitor with the best of what Namadgi has to offer—forests of
Snow Gum and Alpine Ash, magnificent granite boulders and
spectacular wilderness views. The walk starts at the Smokers
Gap car park on Corin Road near the Smokers Gap entrance
to Namadgi National Park. After following Corin Road for
330 metres, the track crosses the road and climbs steadily
uphill before rounding a knoll and emerging at Square Rock, a
prominent outcrop of large granite boulders. There are some
stone steps on the way and, at Square Rock itself, there are
cliffs and a steel ladder. A side track leads to Orroral Valley
Lookout.
We will need a volunteer to drive the 50min out there in addition to my car as I can only take 3 people including myself due to a baby car seat taking up space in the back.
Make sure to pack some lunch to eat at the rocks.
Meet at SRA at 9am, start the walk by 10am. Plan to be back at the SRA around 3pm.
Park at square rock car park, walk along designated track to square rock and return by same route.
