Itinerary description

We parked in the Vaughan Springs car park, ample parking, picnic tables and toilets.
Follow the goldfields track markers in the Daylesford direction to the Gurr track which you follow until turning right and heading to Porcupine ridge road ( typical country gravel road ). Follow this road for approximately 2 klm's ,then turn right onto the Italian Hill track, follow this back to the goldfields track and vehicles.
We did a bit of bush bashing along the Italian hill track which is your choice, plenty of old diggings to explore but be careful of deep shafts.
On a side note, the blackberries were ripe for the picking and we managed to get enough to make some jam
