About this place
Richardson's Track is an unmaintained tramping track at the eastern end of Croydon Bush Scenic Reserve.
The route
The eastern end of Croydon Bush Scenic Reserve, accessed from Croydon Bush Road, is locally known as Grants Bush. The tramping tracks in this area are no longer maintained - caution is advised. Richardson's Track is reached by going right from Grants picnic area, crossing a stream and following a marked track through to a paddock. Cross the paddock and enter a pine plantation on the northern side. The route goes through the plantation, crosses a stream and goes upstream into the native bush. It is steep, rough and rocky but not difficult to follow. It eventually ends at East Peak.
