An easy 2.5km stroll around lower Mount
Canopus, unless you opt to take the optional way points in which
case it becomes a tougher 5km trek to the top of the
mountain.
This is a walk which we take regularly. We’d like to share it
because there are some interesting things to see along the way. An
olive farm, winery, unusual animals and scenic views.
We suggest that you park at S42° 50.848 E147° 25.222.
At WP1 (S42° 50.883 E147° 25.254) you will find an Aurora
pole with the number 166ABC.
At WP2 (S42° 50.[4+B][5-A][3+C] E147° 25.[3+A][9-B][8-C])
you will find a concrete structure. There are D steel lugs
on the top of this structure.
At WP3 (S42° 50.[D+2][D-B][D-C] E147° 25.[D+A][A+C][D+3])
you will find a business. The street number of this business is

At WP4 (S42° 51.[F-A][D-E][F+G] E147° 25.[D+E][D+F][D+B])

Now you have a choice:
Choice 1: For an easy stroll head to WP5
Choice 2: For an additional 2.5km trek to the top of the
mountain (a total of 5km) proceed to OWP1 (Optional Way
Point 1).
At WP5 (S42° 51.[J-H][G-J][G+E] E147° 25.[I+J][G+2][J+D])

At WP6 (S42° 51.[K+I][M+H][G+L] E147° 25.[J+K][K+I][M+B])
you need to find a safe way to cross the creek and head to
GZ.
GZ is at (S42° 51.[K+A][J+L][M-L] E147°
25.[M-H][J+D][M+L])
From GZ, follow the creek downhill until you come to the old
railway bridge. Turn right and follow the track back to
WP1.
Optional Way Points:
How energetic are you feeling? Are you up for it? If so, proceed to
OWP1, otherwise go to WP5.
At OWP1 (S42° 51.[J-D][G-2][D+B] E147° 25.[G+I][J+5][I+C])
