McNelly Walking Track
Advertisement
The McNally Walkway is an open country hike that begins on the outskirts of Milton township and climbs to the crest of a nearby hilltop, 318 meters above sea level.
The walkway is named after the late Tom McNally, a long-serving Milton policeman. It crosses rolling pasture that is particularly pleasing to the eye during summer when many wildflowers bloom. A plane table on the crest of the hill identifies many of the surrounding visible features. The track forks in some sections, offering alternative side tracks for those who want to explore further
Come for a stretch of the legs and a beautiful view. 7km hike. About 2 1/4 hours return trip. Parking is on side of road by the Milton Cemetery or in the cemetery carpark. Please note: tagged location is not the exacted location but the road is correct. We will be aiming to leave by 1pm. Snacks, backpack and water would be a good idea as well as sun gear and warm layer.
