Forest Walks

There are excellent walks in the Naseby Forest area, which are also full of well-preserved and documented gold artefacts and workings, including piping and several of the hydralic monitors used for sluicing the faces along with some excellent explanatory boards. A number of pleasant picnic spots and forest walks (750m-3km one way; 30min-90min; or a circuit walk of 10km, 6hr) are easily accessible from Naseby, signposted throughout, and also listed in the Naseby Forest leaflet and map available free from Earnslaw Ore. To witness the effects of former sluicing at their most dramatic, follow the One Tree Hill Track past dramatic honey-coloured cliffs entirely carved by water.
