Scar Track Loop, Dandenong Ranges - 10km, 650m elevation

Commencing at the small carpark at the intersection of Glasgow and Sheffield Roads, we will go up Scar Track (Glasgow Fire Trail), loop around to the right (past Bourke's Lookout) following a number of short tracks in Dandenong Ranges. We eventually descend back down to carpark via Doongalla Reserve. There is limited parking spots available, so carpooling with a buddy will be best if you feel comfortable doing so.
NOTE, there is a toilet stop midway through the hike at Doongalla reserve.

Please do not RSVP to any Eastern Hiking & Adventure event unless you are fully committed to attending. It is your responsibility to check the date, distance, and difficulty of the walk before RSVPing.
Members who frequently withdraw at the last minute, fail to show up, arrive without being on the "going" list, or behave disrespectfully towards leaders or fellow members will be asked to leave the walk and may be removed from the group. All leaders are unpaid volunteers who invest a great deal of their own time to plan and research each walk. Their efforts deserve respect and consideration. Organisers do their best to minimise waitlists where possible, and priority will be given to reliable members who attend regularly and contribute positively to the group experience.
