Turn right after crossing Shakey Bridge. Along gravel road for about 1km then right turn onto poo track...can be a little smelly. Follow rock garden track, take main path ...crossing a fence, and then another...veering to the left after second gate. Stay on grassy track until you hit the main Little Valley Road at 5km mark. Follow the road home. At 9km you can pop down the track on the left by a graffiti wall overlooking Alexandra.

The famous Alexandra clock

We enjoyed the first section up Poo Track abd Graveyard Gully (awesome geology) but the road section was a bit dull. Avoid in the heat.

Nice wee casual loop, good for a chill run. Good way to get your bearings to be able to explore more of the trails in the area later on!
