Stonehurst Track

The Stonehurst Track goes up and over the Rock and Pillar Range to link Gladbrook Road near Middlemarch to Old Dunstan Road near Loganburn Dam.

The highest point of the track, at 1100 m above sea level, is located almost exactly midway but is quicker and easier to reach from Old Dunstan Road (800 m altitude) than from Gladbrook Road (250 m altitude).

This track can be accessed either from the southern end of Gladbrook Road near Middlemarch, or from a stile along the Old Dunstan Road near the north-eastern side of Loganburn Reservoir.

Weather: The Rock and Pillar Conservation Area is very exposed and subject to extreme temperatures – hot and dry in summer, freezing cold and covered in snow in winter.

Avalanches: Avalanche terrain is classified as 'simple' at the northern end of the Rock and Pillar Range and on the tops, and 'complex' on the eastern faces. If you plan to be in this area in winter or spring be avalanche alert.
