It was my intention to do the Silver Mine hike today.
I had some very varied information on this hike. the board at the start of the hike said 5hrs return -18km. My info booklet I had from tourist info said 6hrs one way.
I didn’t want to risk such a large gap and so I made my own variation.
I just kept following Deddick’s 4WD track- all uphill until the top . it is seasonally closed to vehicles… so that’s easy and i was the only one there anyway.
The morning started very misty…so I had 2 coffees before setting off and seeing the mist rise as I did too.
There are several pine trees around and hundreds of blossoming wattles.
The views are of the Snowy River Valley- which is pretty superb!
