Kallista (Sherbrooke) walk
Walk done Saturday Jan 12th 2013. Had planned to do Thousand Steps but it was packed out, due to an event. About 9km in total (excluding exploring Alfred Nicholas Gardens)
Quick notes. Will try and upload a few photos later. Numbers are points on map
- Car at Kallista (or you could park at Grants Picnic Ground if it’s not too crowded)
- (Basically walked in a clockwise direction)
- Walk down to Grants then over main road and (west) on Clematis Tk to Sherbrooke Lodge Rd
- Left (west) along it to…
- O’Donohue Picnic Ground (lunch)
- Out back (west) gate. Few mins to Link track (not shown, it’s small). Right (North) onto it
- Left (west) onto Sherbrooke Tk. Cross bridge and onto Wattle Tk
- Follow Wattle Tk until it hits made road. Turn right (east) and few mins will see…
- Alfred Nicholas Gardens entrance
- Explore Gardens. They are fantastic. Allow about an hour. Return to front gate
- At gate, facing car park (on other side of road) turn left (SE) and walk along Sherbrooke Rd to where Sherbrook Lodge Rd veers off. There’s a car park there. Out the back there’s a gate/track. Take it and it hooks up with Link Track in a short while. There’s signs there back to O’Donohue Picnic Ground and from there retrace your steps back to the car
