Redledge Pass To Rockpile Pass
Redledge Pass To Rockpile Pass
Redledge Pass is a natural pass between Narrow Neck Plateau and the Megalong Valley. The pass was used by miners from the Glen Shale Mine in the Megalong Valley and probably by the local Aborigenes.
The pass starts down a slot into the gully formed by Corral Creek. After crossing the creek, the pass continues along the ledge. The area was badly fire-damaged however the logbook survived the encounter!
The ledge continues westward and has a few exposed sections that require care! The pass takes its name from the red stone along the ledge. We did not go down to the Megalong Valley but continued on to Rockpile Pass.
After crossing two scrubby gullies we arrived at Rockpile Pass which takes its name from the pile of rocks strategically placed to climb out! Then it was up and back to the fire trail!
