November Outing Details - The Rabbit Fence – Saturday, 16th November 2024

On the way to the Rabbit Fence 
last time we visited in 2019
 Time: 8 am

Where: The Head Road and the Rabbit Fence – Wilsons Peak area

Directions: Take The Head Road (yes, it is fixed) off Carneys Creek Road (off Boonah Rathdowney Road), and climb up to the top – and a view of Teviot Falls. Cross a grid and then travel down the valley and past Wilsons Peak on your left. The road is out in the open for a while until it goes into some forest and the rabbit fence comes in on the left. There is a place to park on the right. If you hit the White Swamp Road you have gone too far.

Activities: We will walk along the Rabbit Fence to take in this special forest. Relatively easy walking and usually lots of birds. For the energetic there are longer and steeper bits. So escape the heat of the lowlands and come up into the mountains.

Level of Fitness: See Activities above.
