Walks and Trails

A short and easy walk from Dinner Plain out through snow gum forest to an open plain with spectacular views of Mount Hotham, Mount Feathertop, Bogong High Plains and the Cobungra River. Starting... from Dinner Plain Hut, follow the track to the sign marking the crossing point to the northern side of the Great Alpine Road and the track leading to the Forest Walks trailhead. The Room with a View walk initially follows a slightly undulating trail then flattens out. The track heads north along the eastern flanks of Dead Timber Hill. After 0.5 km it drops gently down to a grassy plain and veers west to a marker that designates the track loop. Most walkers prefer to keep to the left route as it descends through snow grass and drops through the snow gums to a small clearing - the 'room with a view'. The track loop continues north back up to the marker on the open plain from where it returns to the Forests Walks trailhead.

Begin your walk from the Tronoh Dredge Hole car park off Feathertop Track and head either way around this man-made lake. The dredge hole was created by the Tronoh Dredge which was one of the world's... largest electric powered mechanical dredges. There are a number of other walking tracks around the Tronoh Dredge, weaving through native bush and ferns, along the Ovens River or around the dredge holes. These tracks are sign posted and offer further information on the significance of historical sites along the trails.

2.8 km / 1.5 hours return. No bushwalking experience required. Formed track with some obstacles, short steep hills and occasional steps. Sign posted. Start the walks from the Big Hill Mountain Bike Park,... off the Bogong High Plains Road on the right side, heading towards Falls Creek. Walk uphill along the Aqueduct Track behind the large holiday apartments, follow the signposted track for 1km to a swing bridge over the West Kiewa River. To get to the adit/shaft and the canyon, plus get great views of the Gorge, cross over the swing bridge and walk uphill, you will come across a swimming hole and another 100m up the river. The adit was dug in the 1950's to help with the construction of the Kiewa Scheme. During summer, when the rocks are dry in the riverbed, it is possible to walk, wade and swim upstream for 400 metres to an impressive canyon.  Please be aware, at any time there may be unannounced increases in water flows/levels in the Mount Beauty Gorge as it is part of the working Snowy Mountain power system.  It is not advisable to wade into the river if you are not a strong swimmer or if the rocks are wet and slippery.

This scenic sealed loop can be started from within the Myrtleford township or be included as an addition to the Murray to Mountains Rail Trail. The main portion of the loop runs from Rotary Park to Apex... Park and follows the Ovens River closely as it passes through native bush and crosses the river twice. The Mosaic Trail is sometimes referred to as Myrtleford's Ovens River Trail, one of town's star attractions.

No bushwalking experience is required as it is on a formed track but there are a few obstacles, short steep hills and occasional steps. It is clearly sign posted.
