<updated: all of Glasgow Track now shown, more accurate track lengths and updated both images>
Another great walk around the Doongalla area in the Dandenongs on Sunday. Took some very nice people, including some on their first climb up Bills Track. It was warm and sunny. I think it’s fair to say we were all, umm, refreshed at the top of this Track.
It goes straight up (a part of) Mt Dandenong. No zig zags to ease the gradient.
I was telling the walkers about Glasgow Tk just up the road. Today in looking at the map, I remembered Rankin Tk between Billls and Glasgow. All 3 are No Zig Zag tracks And what about the relative lengths? Bit of fun with Oziexplorer and Google Earth shows me:
Track | Approx Length (m) |
Bills (the bit we did) | 220 |
Rankin | 410 |
Glasgow | 870 |
Here’s a map (thanks to OSM), should be able to click on to engorge:
And here’s the fun one. Google Earth showing them. With the height of the mountains exaggerated. From right to left: Bills, Rankin and Glasgow. Click for biggus pickus.
I actually want to do Glasgow end to end soon. Car at Glasgow road, straight up, then maybe a rest and down the more gentle Zig Zag and Ch 10 tracks and back to car.
