Bushwalk Australia

Starlights trail is being cooked right now, will be interesting over the next few months to watch the regrowth.

Is this some new, hip iGen meaning to the word 'cook' of which I am unaware? How do you 'cook' a walking or vehicle track?

The wording is interesting. It's a Hazard reduction burn. See

Can't see much use for a billy or marshmellows.

Interesting map, where'd you get it from?

Ouch! As long as the burn doesn't extend down to Emmetts Flats. It's beautifully green down there.

What map is this? And what is the meaning of the diferrent sectors? I so those signs when i was down there last time.

Last time i was there (in June), Emmetts was starting to get choked with wild tobacco plants. A decent burn off probably wouldn't be a bad thing to stop the weeds settling in

Was down there a couple of weeks ago. The impact of the fire has been a bit patchy, generally one side of the track or the other, with both sides here and there and neither side in other places. It hasn't gone past the top of the switchback on the last ridge, so Emmett's and Macarthur's are untouched. The pigs are really going to town along the river bed, as are the blackberries.
