- Currently the AAWT is closed from Mormon Town Track to the Thomson
Valley Road as the bridge and track was damaged in recent fires. The
alternative
is upon meeting Mormon Town Track, turn left to descend to the main
road, cross the road bridge to the west side of the Thomson River then
follow tracks on the west side of the river and climb to
meet the Thomson Valley Road.
Page 60 - Black River. The 2006
fires severely burnt this valley and the
river is a huge log jam, to avoid the desperate walk along the river
use the alternative
route on page 60. Also on
page 63, the log across the Black River has vanished and the climb to
Mt Shillinglaw has some dense scrub.
Page 69, Maps, the Bush Maps
Victoria map is now a 1:50,000 scale map.
Page 74, 126.6km The old track
from Mt Sunday to Low Saddle is very overgrown, some groups are
following the longer vehicle track and collect water at the creek
crossing 1km west of Low Saddle.
Page 89 - Viking Saddle to The
Viking.
After the 2006 fires, when remarking the track from Mt Speculation to
Barry
Saddle, we did not mark the track from Viking Saddle
to
the cliffs of The Viking. Just head straight up (or down) the ridge -
its easy navigation with no cliffs or rocky slabs.
Page 93 - The track from Harry
Shepherds Track to East Riley Road is overgrown and slow
going, expect to take longer. The Barry Mountains Water Tater Tank
(page 93) currently has no
roof - do not rely on it. Barry Saddle tank (page 92) is still OK - I
helped the ranger rebuild the roof after the 2006 fires.
Page 98 - on 2nd last line in
Southbound, turn east should be turn west
Page 126 - 5th line, the Mitta
Mitta is the lowest point north of the Baw Baws (the Thomson River is
actually the lowest point on the track)
Page 129 to page 146 -
Omeo Highway through to Dead Horse Creek - some of this section of the
track
was cleared and remarked in
2008. Part of it is easier to follow until the scrub regrows.
Page 200 - 516.5km - line 1
south-west should be south-east, 4th line north-west
should be north-east.
Page 216 - dont try to follow
the 'old fire track' shown on the map as its becoming overgrown. It was
put on the map so walkers would realise it was not the AAWT..
Page 229 - 614.3km - line 5, A
steep descent then leads 'westward' should say 'eastward'
Page 236 - map, grid markings
for eastings should range from 82 to 87 (not 62 to 67)
