Starting opposite the National Parks Office near Lake Catani, this walk takes you up through the forest towards a huge granite boulder known as The Monolith. Although there is no access to the summit, there is a  great view back towards Lake Catani from its base.

With our travelling companions Beth and Pablo needing to head home after lunch, Sue and I grabbed the opportunity to walk The Big Track one way. Pablo having raced over it’s full length on Sunday, suggested we skip the less interesting lower section which we did.

After completing our Saturday morning parkrun in Euroa, we cleaned up, had breakfast and entrusted Siri to get us to Mount Samaria State Park. We came in from the northern end and found the gravel road to be of good quality, except for a couple of potholes sections which were marked. The road is narrow in sections and could make passing another car rather interesting in a few places.

Wild Dog Creek Campsite – Wild Dog Creek Falls

Sunday 29/05/2022   Mount Samaria Road – Summit Link Track – Wild Dog Creek Campsite – Wild Dog Creek Falls

Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies

The track to Wild Dog Falls starts from a small Carpark on Mount Samaria Road at the bottom of the Mount Samaria Summit Link Track. The forest here is varied and the track is easy to follow. It is only about 800m until you walk into Wild Dog Creek Campsite. This is an excellent campsite with a long drop toilet, two picnic tables and a stone-lined fire pit. A fantastic spot to take anyone to for a very peaceful camp with plenty of shade for warmer weather, however, we didn’t see where you might collect water.

After summiting The Horn we walked the track to the summit of The Hump. The Rocky climb to the top ends with a series of massive granite tors with ladders to the summit. Again fantastic views from the top, especially to the neighbouring Cathedral and more distantly The Horn.

A very short but steep walk to the highest point in Buffalo National Park. Pablo, having finished Sunday’s 42km Buffalo Stampede in 4 hours 48 minutes was in great discomfort with every step. He was forced to kind of hobble his way along.
