Aft er a stop to look around and read signs outlining history of the mining wor k, follow the old tramline route to the mine site beside Champion Creek. Fr om here we enjoy several hours of trackless country as we navigate our way over the fascinating dunite landscape. We climb a spur to Mt Meares and the n follow the well defined ridge westward to Mt Malita, 959m. Beyond the Cha mpion mine site there will be half an hour of "scrub bashing" before we gai n the open mineral belt. Unfortunately wilding pines invade the mineral bel t, so if participants have some spare time and energy, some of these pests could be dealt to as we go along. Carry a pruning saw if you are keen to do this. From Malita we descend to the carpark via forestry tracks. The trip will take about 8 hours and requires reasonable weather. \n\n\n X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
