Sixpence Cave

 Sixpence Cave

On a drizzly day we started from Hall's Saddle and took the Pipeline Track to McDermott's Farm.

The cave is located between this track and Ridgeway Road, we returned via McDermott's track and farm.

Pipeline Track

 Pipeline Track

For our holiday walk we did a steady rainy walk on the Pipeline Track from Fern Tree, with a detour to Silver Falls.


Saponin flowing down the trunk of a tree. It acts as a wetting agent on the soil around the tree.
