Spring is the perfect time to explore the Yackandandah Gorge Scenic Walk.
Wander along the historic gorge (originally carved by hand and later deepened with dynamite) and take in the beautiful cascades, shady trees, and lush spring blooms.
If you`re feeling energetic, you can walk along Yackandandah Creek from the centre of town, which takes about an hour. The top of the Gorge is steep and requires the walker to be sure footed and moderately fit. There is a sign post and car park with information signs at the start of the walk. For those unable to take the full trail, there is access to the gorge from Bells Flat Road. The trail is sign posted from the car park and takes about five minutes.
Dust off your hiking shoes and stretch your legs - a little history and a lot of nature await!
