- Description
This track turns off the Humphries Dam track 10 minutes from the start and follows the water supply pipeline to the base of Barnes Dam. A steep stairway leads to the top of the dam structure.
Barnes dam track is a more challenging foot path with a few bridges and a small tunnel that finishes at the foot of a substantial concrete dam; you can climb up the ladder and see a lake on one side and a sheer drop with a waterfall on the other.
45 minutes each way.
