Higgs track

Postby tgriffin » Wed 29 May, 2013 2:23 pm

Hi there.
I am planning a day walk to lady lake through Higgs Track. I have found a website that tells me to go to westrope road near Caveside but that is all it says. There are three tracks near there and I just need to know a bit more detail to find Higgs track. Any info would be appreciated!

I haven't walked the track but have driven up that way, and there is a sign to Higgs Track - I would say you take that one but best to wait for confirmation of that :wink: .

Cheers. If it has a sign I should find it easily enough.
I did a walk up Parsons track last week and now I'm keen to check out all the tracks up that way!

If you drive up Westrope Road then Higgs track is signposted and it is the third road to the right. Drive to the end of that and park for the beginning of the track.
If when on Westrope Road you get to bridge over Western Creek you missed the turn off. Go back about 700 metres.
