Trig #1 - Mount Wanniassa

14 June 2020

I've lived in Wanniassa for more than 20 years, but I've never walked up Mount Wanniassa, which is actually closer to Fadden than Wanniassa, but anyway...

On a chilly Sunday afternoon I thought I'd go for a walk up there. I started from Mugga Lane, where I parked alongside the people that like to walk up the back of Isaacs. From there, it was a gradual hill; first up a bush-type trail, then a fire trail. After a bit of dithering, I decided to walk up to the trig. There was a pretty steep ascent, which then levelled out to a nice walk up to the summit. 

I even saw a little rock wallaby and some kangaroos along the way. 

The view was very nice, though the cold wind made sure I didn't stay up there too long. I may need to go up again!

Mount Wanniassa

Elevation - 810m.

Distance walked - 3.26km

Time to trig - about 25 minutes (15-20 for a fitter person!).

Difficulty - easy-medium. There is one steepish bit, but a pretty easy walk from the Isaacs side. I think it might be harder from the Fadden side. Will try next time. 

Best part - the amazing view and my first trig! There were a few kangaroos and wallabies too.
