Bells Peak, off the Tiger Hill Road back in the 19th century was a wonderful wildflower area, as well as having the wooden rail trail travelling through its lower area. Over the years the lower area has been damaged by fire wood removal with further damage by vehicles. I was excited to see the area fenced off and the track repaired. While it will take some time to get full re growth I am sure it will recover its former glory.
Even so, we found quite a few flowers I did not expect so late in the year or with so little rain.
Bells Peak looks down on the valleys towards Tatong (although it is not in view) and the Sam Creek Valley to the North. The views are magnificent.
We had six walkers who all managed the steep section to the higher levels, and enjoyed our lunch on the peak.
