This walk explores the Warrandyte-Kinglake Nature Conservation Reserve.  It starts gently along Happy Valley before going up and over One Tree Hill.  There is then a loop up into the northern Rifle Range Block of the park before returning to our start point. The walk is all on tracks.  Some hilly sections can be slippery with loose gravel, so use of poles should be considered.  Highlights, in addidion to the lovely bush we traverse, include views towards Sugarloaf Reservoir and towards hills to the north and passing a working gold mine.

We will meet at the carpark near the southern end of Happy Valley Track in Christmas Hills (Melway 265C12).  Turn-off to this track is trom Eltham-Yarra Glen Road.  When travelling on this road heading towards Yarra Glen (east), turnoff is to the left 700 m past the signposted access to Sugarloaf Reservoir via Simpson Road.  The track entrance is in a cutting and is small and unsigned.
