Description

The eastern end of Croydon Bush Scenic Reserve, accessed from Croydon Bush Road, is locally known as Grants Bush. The tramping tracks in this area are no longer maintained - caution is advised.

Middle Ridge Track is reached by going right from Grants picnic area, crossing a stream and following a marked track through to a paddock. Middle Track turns immediately uphill into the native bush at this point and is marked with orange track markers.

It is steep, rough and rocky but not difficult to follow. It eventually ends at East Peak.

Getting there

Croydon Bush Scenic Reserve is located approximately 10 km to the north west of Gore. Grants Bush is accessed from Croydon Bush Road, at the eastern end of this scenic reserve.
