Invoke, warm nostalgia and a flood of schoolyard memories on the Alan Marshall Discovery Trail.
Access to the trail
The Alan Marshall trail begins on Morack Street just off Glenormiston Road. Visitors enter through a gate to access the track.
Visitors can immerse themselves in the settings that form the rich period landscape of Marshall’s 1955 novel “I Can Jump Puddles.” Take a walk up Mount Noorat and explore sites in the district pertinent to Marshall’s formative years including Lake Keilambete to the North West of Terang.
Length: 500m to crater view (1km return) on a formed crushed blue stone pathway. The trail continues on a further 500m on a less formed pathway (steep) to the 310m summit of Mount Noorat. Total walk length from the access gate to the peak and return is 2km.
Time: 25 — 30 minutes return to the crater rim or 40 minutes — 1 hour return to summit.
The formed trail to the crater lookout has a gradient that would make it difficult to access in prams, wheelchairs and for those with limited mobility.
