One of the most pleasant tracks at Mount Field runs along the side of
Lake Fenton, crosses Kangaroo Moor then drops through forest to the infant
Broad River and soon meets the track boardwalk at Lake Webster. The moor is
such a delight and is arguably best in late Spring and early summer at peak
wildflowers time.

Beyond the northern end of Kangaroo Moor there is a creek that is always
running and it is just beyond that where we worked at clearing back encroaching
vegetation. It was just a small crew as were the bushes so a lot of time was
spend bent over lopping it. Even so an impressive
length was cut starting from where we last finished in April 2015, up almost to
the creek. This was last touched in 2011
and being more open and sunnier than areas below, it would appear to regrow
quicker.
