Mount Marian

Tuesday 7 January 2025

 We were transported to the start of the Mount Marian track and commenced reclearing any parts of the previously worked on track then began clearing the overgrowing section on the climbing ridge.  PWS officers used hedge trimmers whilst we worked on bigger trackside bushes plus collect the slash.  The work was halted at the 600m mark and the pan is to return in February to go further.   The track is 1425m to the summit, but the upper quarter to a third is more open and won't need as much effort.
