With this walk we move further west, to Faulconbridge. The early part is over the same tracks as previous walks, but the Victory Track takes us into new territory.

The "Victory" in the name of the track suggests that it was so named after World War 1. However the track appears to have been constructed in the time of Henry Parkes, who lived at Faulconbridge in those days. Clarinda was his wife (died 1888) and the waterfall along the track was named for her.

There are many videos and bushwalking reports about the Victory Track. Here are a few.

Here's another walk which takes you down into the valley of Glenbrook Creek and its tributaries. The people of Springwood are blessed in having many fine walks so close to town. In 1938, most walkers would have arrived by train, which is why the walk descriptions always commence at a railway station.

To make sense of the description, you may need to refer to the previous walks' information.

If you are considering doing this walk, don't begin without taking a modern map and information.

This Wild Walks information should be very helpful. here.
