Yurrebilla Trail Completed

Posted by photohiker on 2 June 2008 in English.

Yesterday we completed hiking the length of the Yurrebilla Trail capturing a gps track as we went. 54kms of goodness. For the first time ever my gps trail upload and processing at osm was almost instant.

It's all mapped now. If you want to have a look, namefinder pulls it up quickly:

The last section is only visible in osmarender. Comments for improvements welcome, I'm pretty new to this.

On with Yurrebilla

Started at Eagle On the Hill today, next to the old Bullock Track. We completed section 2 in the rain, but it was before lunch, so we pressed on and completed section 3 in light rain. Good walking. Saw a few Koalas and Captain Giles' Ruins along the way. GPS track is up and mapped.

Does anyone know what to do when a walking track follows an existing street or way for a bit? I don't know whether to run parralel to the existing way, or to finish the section there and pick up the trail where it takes off on it's own again...
