  Caveat:

A map is a graphical representation of a geographical actuality.  However, though some maps are more representative than others, no map is absolutely correct.  The maps on this site are not exempt from this rule.

Columbine Creek Walking Tracks Map

This map covers portions of the Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park, Fryers Ranges State Forest, Fryers Ridge Nature Conservation Reserve and Upper Loddon State Forest. Victoria, Australia.  Some of the features in this area are the entire length of Columbine Creek and Salters Creek, Glenluce Falls, Warburton Bridge and Sanger's hut.  On its western edge the map is overlapped by the Irishtown map; on its northern edge it is overlapped by the Fyerstown map and on its northeast corner it overlaps the Fryers Ranges map (note, the Fryers Ranges map is not a member of the CDNHP series).

The intended hardcopy format (as PDF) for this map is A3.


Potential Confusions

Old Hunter's Ln is recorded on DELWP maps but is signposted as Hunters Trk.  The road exiting the map south near the 258000 easting is signposted Hunters Ln.
