Klings Hill offers outstanding and interesting views of Albury, Wodonga, the Murray Valley, Barnawartha Hills, Huon Hill, Baranduda Range, Table Top, Redlight Hill, the Monument, Nailcan Range and surrounds. There are also superb mountain bike trails, multiple geocaches, walking tracks, expanses of woodland and forest, swathes of native kangaroo grass, plentiful waterways & springs, native flora and fauna, challenging hiking, rock outcrops to explore and more. If you enjoy the outdoors, Klings Hill is for you.
A walking trail map for McFarlane’s Hill can be downloaded at: http://www.parklands-alburywodonga.org.au/support-your-parks/publications/images/MacFarlanes_Hill_cropped.jpg. Although this map shows most of the formal tracks that Parklands manage within McFarlanes Hill reserve, it does not provide detail for Klings Hill (also labelled on some maps as McDonalds Hill).
The very useful DEPI interactive map website can be used to create maps across Victoria (including Klings Hill) by zooming to the area of interest and playing with different layers: http://services.land.vic.gov.au/maps/interactive.jsp
I have placed a few caches on Klings Hill to entice others to explore this wonderful area.
I found KINGS CLIFF while exploring the informal parkland of Klings Hill. I have often looked across to this section of bush from the BBQ shack (near Klingdingas McFungas) and wondered what was there. GZ is located within a ‘cliff’ feature, caused by a natural boulder scramble associated with the side of a ridgeline. Cache has been placed about 4km from the Felltimber Carpark, amongst lichen covered rocks & fire impacted bushland. Take care with geokids and dogs – some steep drop offs.
You will find interesting views southwest towards Chiltern Scenic Reserve (see Bingley’s excellent Barney’s Rubble) and if you explore over the ridge line from the GZ you will be rewarded with views towards Albury (Monument Hill, etc.). There are also lots of interesting quartz features here.
