Map Jaithmathang to Fainter FT

Postby LLSC » Mon 17 Jun, 2024 12:17 pm

I am looking for assistance from anyone who may have a map of the route from Mt Jaithmatang north to Fainter Firetrail. BTAC plan to clear a route through here after winter. SV and some other maps have an indicative line of roughly where it goes. Parts of it have a definite footpad but in other parts, regrowth has completely obscured the route. I would appreciate if anyone can point me in the direction of anything semi-official, to assist us in taking the best line.
Thankyou.

Will this be an official Parks Victoria-sanctioned working bee?

If so then surely PV would have a GPX file or similar???

I have walked that route last decade but it is now very overgrown as is the route from Tawonga Huts up to the summit of Mt. Jaithmatang.
I hope to be available to take part in the working bee.

Eyeball the topography and follow your nose. :)

I don't remember any real track through there - but really quite open going - like stry says.

Ditto. It is (in my increasingly out-of-date) experience, a straightforward line-of-sight walk, no vegetational challenge.
