Bickley Reservoir to Ellis Brook (and maybe Victoria Reservoir)

About a 14-18km loop (Medium/hard hike)
Perhaps 10% off-track, with around 500m of uphill hiking.
(Please read all the event info before registering for this event esp. RSVPs !)

According to WalkGPS :
"The highlight of this walk along the rugged Darling Scarp is the impressive 60 Foot Falls in Ellis Brook Valley Reserve in the south. The remainder of the walk, mainly within Banyowla Regional Park, includes invigorating traverses of a few of the valleys and ridges along the Scarp. There are some excellent views across the Swan Coastal Plain and to Perth city, only 18km away."

If time and energy permits, we may extend this hike a little into the historic Victoria Reservoir, adding about 4.5km to the distance.
