Early in 2011 DSE closed the Lerderderg Track between Jubilee Lake and St Leonards Hill following storm damage. The track is still closed. GDTA has repeatedly requested that the track be reopened. At a meeting with DSE Midlands District in November 2011 the GDTA asked DSE to take urgent action to reopen the track.
DSE have advised that only DSE posts are allowed on their land. This means that on the Lerderderg Track between Jubilee Lake and Blackwood, DSE will replace all green GDT posts with grey DSE posts.

Anderson's Tramway Walk
Mollongghip - Wombat Station 8km
Part of this 8km section of the Track, near Mollongghip follows an historic timber tramway, built in 1866. Following the contours of the top of the Great Dividing Range, this originally wooden tramway was wide enough for two horses abreast. At its peak the timber tramway ran for 23 km, from Dean to Musk Vale.
Please Note: This walk passes through terrain that was extensively mined - so be careful of deep shafts when you walk off the track. In wet years Mullens Dam has been a source of water but in recent dry years the quantity and quality have not been able to be relied on.
