Walking notes
This is a good out and back return walk from Blowering Dam Wall. From the top of the dam wall, follow the signs down a narrow track beside the guard rail towards Blowering Campsite. Single track continues beyond the campsite, undulating and winding its way along the foreshore, to Brown’s Creek campsite.
It is a long drive in from Batlow on Forestry Roads to get to Brown’s Creek campsite from the south. The Hume and Hovell Track is on the section of Foreshore Road that is driven to get to Brown’s Creek campsite so you can see this section of Track by vehicle.
