A route description is:
1. The Pines Car Park to Steiglitz Courthouse Car Park
Starting at The Pines Car Park, the walk heads south past large mullock heaps, which are remnants of the New Chum Mine. These heaps provide excellent vantage points for views over the Steiglitz Historic Park and the adjoining Brisbane Ranges National Park. Head south on Steiglitz-Durdidwarrah Road and turn right at Hut Road. Walk 50 metres down Hut Road and turn left at the orange marker, follow this track through the bush, crossing School Track to the Steiglitz-Durdidwarrah Road.
2. Steiglitz-Durdidwarrah Road to the Courthouse
Cross the Steiglitz-Durdidwarrah Road and follow the old vehicle track with the orange markers through the bush. When you come to a fence turn right and head south along the fence line, following the track which will gradually curve right passing an old mine coming out at the New Chum Bridge on the Steiglitz-Durdidwarrah Road. Turn left and head up to the Courthouse.
3. Steiglitz to The Crossing
After visiting the historical Courthouse and surrounds, enter Stawell Street and follow the Deadmans Loop Walking Track through to Hut Road, continuing to The Crossing Picnic Ground.
4. The Crossing Picnic Ground to The Pines Car Park
Follow Hut Road east and cross the creek. Enter the walking track and continue uphill from the Lease Road intersection. The walk follows the Burchell Trail for over 5 kms to The Pines Car Park. This section of track runs parallel to Yankee Gully Creek before heading up a shallow gully to Mulrooneys Track and The Pines Car Park. Look out for remnants of the historic gold mining era.
