Lankeys Creek

Location
Off SH 7- 3 km east of Blacks Point Museum and the Murray’s Creek car park. There is a car park at Lankeys Creek.
Description

Lankeys Creek can be done as a circuit from the highway car park through a historic pack track linking Lankeys Creek with the Murrays Creek circuit tracks. Steep climb through forest and a tunnel.

From the car park cross paddocks and a footbridge and climb through the forest. The track is easy at first and then becomes steep passing remnants of the gold mining industry. The track passes the Bolitho Mine on a side-track, a tunnel and then onto the junction with the Incline Track. This track zigzags down rejoining the main track by the creek.
