Faulconbridge to Blaxland

[Mitchc]

Hi,

I was hoping someone could help clear something up for me.

I am looking to walk from Faulconbridge, to Blaxland. I have been reading the track notes on http://www.wildwalks.com/bushwalking-an ... xland.html However, my map does not have the entire route showing; I have outlined the route on google earth that is missing.



My confusion comes from the track notes saying to follow "St Helenas Ridge" but on my map St Helenas Ridge is further to the south, ending me up towards Glenbrook.

Is there an actual trail there, or does it require bushbashing? I was able to locate the trail further to the south on google earth, but was not able to locate this one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have a look at -

I describe a track from the St Helena Ridge to Glenbrook Ck - where you meet the track that descends from Pippas Pass - Florabella Pass track. It is easy walking along a reasonable track. It is marked on open street maps.

Awesome thanks heaps for that!
Still new to this so forget about all the sites such as OpenStreetMaps, which I will need to save for future references

I'd err on the side of caution with this walk at the moment. The track is VERY messy after I'm assuming the wild weather of past months. Lots of trees down, and branches everywhere making following the track difficult at times. I think the section from Bunyan lookout, along St Helenas ridge and down to Pippas pass was really lovely walking. I'll do a further trip report later

The track you want is clearly marked in OSM, easy to find on the ground, and easy to follow on the ridge...

Enjoy.
