Walk 15
Poverty Point (Old Steel) Bridge Walk
Follow the Thomson River from the Thomson River Bridge (Walhalla Rd) to the Poverty Point Bridge and back. This is a great loop walk where you can walk upstream on one side of the river and return on the other. Keep your eye out for the remains of the old tramways and dry stone walling that once supported the timber tramway from Walhalla.
