Hazel will be taking this trip, and has supplied the following information …

This is the first hut encountered on the Mt Somers walkway if you start from the southern end.
Walk in via the Miners Track, which goes up to the old Blackburn mine, and then follows along above the gorge before dropping down to the hut for lunch.  This will take about 2 to 3 hours.
Return by coming back on the other side of the river.  From the hut, climb up to the Bus Stop overhang, then across the face of Mt Somers before descending Rhyolite Ridge back to the carpark.  This part will take around 3+ hours.

Grade: Moderate
