A Tale of Two Peters

This trail includes the peak Peters Hill.

Amazing panoramic views of the Clarence River Valley, Edwards Valley, and Peters Pass - actually amazing views all over St James.

If you know of any public toilets near the trail start or on the route, please login and then let us know so we can update this section.

Park at the St James Homestead, either up near the public toilet or down by the river, just before the bridge.

Moderate.

At no point should you head left off the hill down into Peters Valley, there are extremely dangerous swamps between the hill range and the track on the far side of the valley. Heading right earlier than indicated on the map shouldn't lead to swamps but take care anyway, this should just bring you onto the Edwards Valley track earlier.

Non-existent.

Waterproof leggings, Thermal leggings, Long-sleeved thermal top, Seam-sealed waterproof jacket, Windproof jacket, Gloves, Beanie/thermal headwear, Personal Locator Beacon (PLB), Whistle, First aid kit, Extra food for emergencies, Survival blanket, Map, Gaiters

No water throughout, there is the occasional stream/trickle which you could lifestraw, don't rely on this and carry sufficient for the whole adventure.

Very exposed high country, high likelihood of snow in autumn, winter and early spring.

Very steep and rocky in places - take care of those ankles!
