This trip is guaranteed to be an adventure. Although this territory in t he Aniseed Valley is well trod, Malcolm knows all the ins and outs to make an interesting trip: bush, tops with extensive views and historic aspects.& nbsp;The discovery of an outcrop of copper ore in the upper Aniseed Valley by Fred Stratford in 1881 led to the development of an industry that saw a 30-year flurry of activity, both on the ground and in the share market. No fortunes were made; plenty were lost. They have left us places to explore w ith an associated collection of relics and stories. Our trip will start at the Roding River carpark by the caretaker's house and proceed to the mine s ites on a well marked track. From the Champion Mine, we head off-track into a gully and up a spur to Mt Meares and then a hard R onto the spur leading to Mt Malita. Then we follow a well marked track back down to the Roding c arpark. Estimate 8 hrs or the circuit.
