Old Pack Track

The historical Old Pack Track used by early visitors.  This section is between the lake Nicholls track and Lake Fenton

Work has been done on the Old Pack Track since 2008 

There are two old benched tracks between the Lake Nicholls track and the road near the first bend in the Dobson Road.  The lower one was recut following a request to Greg Peters back in  1995-96.  After showing  Lara van den Berg from Hobart Water the track in 2007 she agreed that it posed little risk when we walked on the long section between Dobson Rd and the main track to Lake Nicholls it was agreed that the two locations where water occasionally overflows the creek (approx. 400 metres from Nicholls end) would be rocked over to minimise water contamination.

The track has been maintained between the lake Nicholls track and the road plus between bends 1 and 2  following the original track.  It currently ends at the end of the small Woodland Walk. 

A further part of the old track was discovered in 2011 and then in June 2012 the remainder was located and it is quite lovely and needs little work to clear.     

More old posting will be added
