Itinerary description
Turn off the Midlands Highway at the "letter Boxes" and follow Sawpit Gully road for approximately 4 Klm's to the junction with the sawpit track.
This walk follows the Goldfields track ( well marked )all the way to Porcupine ridge road, this section is most enjoyable along some very nice bush tracks.
Turn left onto Porcupine ridge road and follow for approximately 600 meters to an unnamed track on the left, we followed this to the Limestone track ( dirt road ), left here and follow this long and undulating road until you reach the sawpit track on the left and then followed all the way back to your vehicle.
At approximately the 13klm mark there is a creek to cross, we veered slightly to the left where it was narrower and easier to cross.
A mixture of really nice bush tracks, ( GF track and unnamed track ) and the so called Limestone track which I would consider a bush road.
