  Caveat:

A map is a graphical representation of a geographical actuality.  However, though some maps are more representative than others, no map is absolutely correct.  The maps on this site are not exempt from this rule.

Metcalfe NCR Walking Map

This map covers the Metcalfe Nature Conservation Reserve south of Metcalfe.  The area is notable for its hilly contouring (including the classic The Ridge Track).  An informed colleague describes the reserve as:

‘A grassy woodland featuring Grey Box, Yellow Box and some exceptionally big Long-leafed box eucalypts.  It’s unusual for this region, in that there are few if any Red Stringybarks.’

The intended hardcopy format (as PDF) for the map is A4.

Information on the use of the KMZ and GPX files below with GPS units and Google Earth can be found via the Appendices dropdown menu in the header menu.


Potential Confusions

There is little opportunity for confusion, the major roads are well signposted.
