P. 45
The descent from the start of the track at Sassafras Gully Road to the valley floor is about 200 m.
Near the start of the track, listen and look for birds. Also look out for orchids. There are often some
in flower along the first few minutes of the walk.
A short way down, the track passes a stone ruin, probably the remains of an old picnic shelter. It’s
hard to tell if it was ever completed. Lower down, and hard to see if you descend, easier to see if you
walk up, there is a memorial carved into a rock. It was chiselled in 1917 by a local, Robert Scott, as a
tribute to Paddy, his dog.
