Caledonia River Track

From Dingo Hill Track the Caledonia River Track starts as an overgrown track following the river before a steep climb up to Howitt Rd and the Howitt High Plains. Easy enough in the dry would be a bit more difficult in the wet. The really hard sections all have an easy option. Great views climbing from 630m to 1600m ASL. Track is usually closed from Queens Birthday until Cup Weekend in November.
