Terrace Walk

Location
The 30 minute return Terrace walk starts 50m south of 'Our Lady of the Alps' church on State Highway 6.
Description
The Terrace walk winds through forest over bouldery tailings, pipes and flumes – remnants of the gold mining operations, to the old sluice face now covered in regenerating bush. At night the face is a mass of twinkling glow-worms. Take a torch and spare torch batteries.
