Mount Noorat summit and crater loop 2.4km
Click here for an exciting animated video.
Distance: 2.4km
Elevation: 145m
Sunrise is a must if you can. Trail gets a little technical and steep beyond the crater lookout and plenty of fun for the mountain goats amongst you. Potential for longer runs and multiple crater loops. For the purists a true summit would begin in the township where you will enjoy a nice incline on quiet streets as you wind past hillside cottages to the trail start on Morack Street. Enjoy!
