05.01.2022 TORPEDO BAY WALKING TRACK Rating: Strenuous Distance: 4km Time: 2 hours... Google Maps Reference: http://goo.gl/maps/nyyTY Lake Tinaroo, built in the 1950s, is a popular destination for swimming, fishing, boating and camping enthusiasts and the surrounding hills have extensive bushwalking trails. The Torpedo Bay walk can be accessed from three different points. This description starts at Trailhead 1, 2.3km from the dam wall lookout at Tinaroo Falls township along Danbulla Drive, 100m before the Barabadeen Scout Camp entrance. It takes about two hours to complete the 4km circuit. Most of the walk is steep and rough so you must be fit. The obvious bush trail winds up the steep hill face to the ridgeline. From the top of the granite boulders, there is a good view over Lake Tinaroo. The ridgeline trail passes through open forest, typical Australian bush scattered with grass trees, pandanus palms, zamia palms and eucalypts. From several points along the walk there are views of the lake and boulder-strewn hill slopes to the north. The trail crosses the saddles between the peaks, occasionally splitting then merging 10 or 20m further on. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the first T-junction. The track on the left descends down a steep spur to Danbulla Drive, 250m west of the dam wall to Trailhead 2. From the T-junction, the trail weaves around a mass of large overhanging boulders. A myriad of exploratory tracks head off in all directions then rejoin on top of the ridge. At this point, you are directly above the dam wall. The trail traverses a couple more saddles and peaks before cutting back behind the ridgeline. It mounts one last ridge before descending via a set of switchbacks. At the base of the hill, you come to a T-junction at an old gateway, where you can either continue straight ahead for 150m to Trailhead 3, or turn left and follow the old fence line to Danbulla Drive, 50m upstream from the Barron River Bridge. Across the road from Trailhead 3 lies the Barron River where you can take a break and swim in the rock pools. Your starting point is 1.7km back along the road.
