Recently, as part of our beginner thingo, a few people had a look at the Rubicon Aqueduct Hike (seen here: https://www.trailhiking.com.au/hikes/rubicon-aqueducts/). Now I quite liked that hike and want to go again because I'm not very original.

Now this track as the name suggests follows the Rubicon Aqueduct and as such is almost entirely level walking. The only exception to this is the 500m ascent at the beginning and it is a slog so coupled with the 17km length, experience will be required to jump on this one.

The current plan is as follows.

  1. Depart MUMC Clubrooms at roughly 7:00 heading to Rubicon Power Station (~2.5 hrs)
  2. At 9:30 (ish) we start the hike. This portion of the trip will take 6hrs hopefully.
  3. We should be back at the car(s) and on the road by 4:00PM.
  4. At 6:30 (traffic willing) we should be back at the Clubrooms to attend the meeting should you so wish. 


How I am doing signups for this one is simple. Put in your EOI, attend the meeting, and then we'll see who can come. I will preference early birds but drivers as always are royalty. Don't be bothered if you don't end up on the trip. If I you attend the meeting and don't get one, I'll put you on the top of the list for my next one (which will be this one, purely on name alone: https://www.trailhiking.com.au/hikes/lake-mountain-woolbutt-loop/).


Email or Comment for questions, but be warned I'm slow on the reply.
