The Tramway was created to lug rocks during the construction of the dam at the nearby lake Glenmaggie and now makes a great base for a beginner trail.

The ground in the park is pretty stony and you have to submit to a bit of movement under the tyres on corners. Stone sizes range from baby-heads to squirrel-heads to mouse-heads (not sure why mammal heads is a measure of stone size, but we’ll run with it), so it requires a bit of attention to get the best out of the trails. That being said, there is also some nice forest loam to mix things up a bit.

The main trailhead has ample parking and there is a toilet nearby. There’s also a caravan/camping ground right next to the trails too which has showers etc. if you’re staying there.

The park has a single black trail that has some great technical climbing and descending over lichen-covered rocks and ascends to give some great views over the fields of Gipsland. There’s a blue descent from up here too (Track 14 Matilda D) that starts with some great technical trails that twist through and drop over the rocks. This first part of the trail is probably a very dark blue, if not black, but once past the first section turns into great twisty flow.

Navigation is pretty good with all trails clearly marked and a map at the entrance. It is worth carrying a paper or digital map to keep on track though as there are some unmarked walking trails that cross over.

Overall, Blores Hill provides a lot in a small space, and while it is not a big area there’s enough variety to keep the smiles coming all day long.
