Getting started
From the Bullocks Trackhead (just south of Thredbo Diggings, about 430m from the Alpine Way), this walk follows the metal 'Bullocks Track' sign down the steps (or ramp) and along the gravel path to cross an open grassy flat. These open grassy areas are frost hollows and part of Muzzlewood Flats. The gravel soon gives way to a rock, then metal, path that leads over a metal arched bridge. The path then leads uphill and after about 300m, the walk follows the grassy track along the edge of a clearing, then follows another section of winding path. The path is then broken again with a section of grassy track before coming to gravel path again. This path leads downhill and soon bends sharply to the right, before passing through an even sharper left-hand bend. The path gives way to a grassy track a few more times and the walk winds gently down through the open bushland, passing a few granite boulders. The path then leads over a small rise, winding through some larger granite boulders, where the track leads down the hill to a three-way intersection and a 'Thredbo Diggings 2km' sign pointing back up the track. This section of the walk follows a track shared with walkers and mountain bike riders.....

Camp site: There is one 140 m from the start.

Toilet: There are 2 on route, on average they are 1.5 km apart with the largest gap of 4.3 km.

Skitube - Alpine Railway
The Skitube is an electric rack railway which provides access between Bullocks Flat, Perisher and Blue Cow ski fields. The journey starts across the bridge over Thredbo River, then covers a distance of 8.5km, of which 6.3km is underground in the Bilston and Blue Cow tunnels. Construction of the railway began in 1984, and the complete line was officially opened in 1988. There are 11 passenger cars in total, of which 4 are motor cars - each with four 301 kW traction motors, making them the most powerful rack railway vehicles in the world. The braking system is mixed regenerative and rheostatic. Prices are around $48 for an adult return fare. Schedules vary throughout the year.

Steam Engine
On the northern side of the Thredbo River at Bullocks Flat is a large, open area, still home to some historic items. Here you will find a rusty portable steam engine, chains, wheels and a small dam. These items are left over from the late 1910’s when Ned Irwin established and operated a sawmill here. He would process the Alpine Ash trees that had been cut from the surrounding hills. There was another mill operating at the nerby Sawpit Creek since the mid to late 1800’s. During the 1850's some gold mining was also undertaken at this site, but it proved not a very popular site. .

Bullocks Hut
Bullocks Hut is a cement block house, built in 1934 as a fishing lodge for Dr Bullock. Extra buildings were added to the substantial house over the following decades. The hut has been managed by NPWS since 1969, and was fully renovated when the nearby Skitube was built in the early 90s. Bullocks Hut has bunk beds, tiled floors, a stainless steel food preparation area with sink, as well as a nearby toilet and stables building. A popular spot for day visits. The hut and grounds are available for hire for events such as wedding, please respect the space of other people using this site.
