Kinchina Conservation Park

A fabulous Sunday morning near the end of Winter, with many race followers heading to The Bend for the OTR Supersprint. I, instead headed to Kinchina Conservation Park, after dropping off my race goers at The Bend.
It took a bit of searching to find the entrance, which is off Tower Road. (Just be careful as when I entered Kinchina in Google Maps, it directed me to Ferries MacDonald). Not a great deal of parking here, or ou can park off the Old Princess Highway. See map.

The trail map is also available on Avenz map app.

You start off on Jailbreak trail, which crosses a sandy hill, then into a woodland area, to Maurice Road. I then headed back to Jailhouse Rocks loop, across the road, to Getaway Car loop, across Rocky Gully link (a bit more challenging), and back onto Jailbreak trail. Crossing Maurice Road again, then towards Jailhouse Rocks loop, before returning to the carpark. 13km and a hour and three quarters.
