Hi all,
Interested in some feedback (and/or any suggested amendments) re a WoJ circuit I'm planning for this coming December with my 13yo daughter. She's pretty experienced and resilient at extended walks. She hasn't been to WoJ before, though I have several times but not to the Rogoona/Lake Myrtle area.
I didn't want to just go in/out via Fish R access nor return just via Lake Adelaide
Hence I was thinking of:
Day 1 in via usual Fish River access to Dixons Kingdom
Day 2 remain at Dixons Kingdom to visit King Davids, Mt Jerusalem, Temple and generally explore inner Walls area.
Day 3 to southern end Lake Adelaide via Lake Ball (reasonably short, so option to explore inner Walls area some more in the morning then leave around lunchtime)
Day 4 to northern end of Lake Myrtle via Lake Meston (with side trip en route to Rogoona)
Day 5 out via Lake Bill, then 7-odd km walk up Mersey Forest Rd back to Fish R carpark
I realise that the last 7 km on the Mersey Forest Rd isn't that exciting an end to the trip.
Any thoughts on improving that itinerary?
Other quick questions:
Is the best take off point for Rogoona from the saddle above Lake Meston or closer to Lake Myrtle (as described in Abels book)? Probable not that important as countryside seems pretty open walking
Is there much difference scenic-wise in campsites at southern end Lake Adelaide or northern end of Lake Meston?
Thanks for any thoughts.
