Undisclosed Creek 30 March 2024 I had unfinished business with this creek: 600 m of terra incognita which turned out to be nice! The rain and storms of the last few years were not kind to the creek: logs, debris, impenetrable scrub made our progress slow!

So we contoured to the intersection of the side creek with King George Brook. Two small abseils, the last one into […]
WOLLANGAMBE TWO – DRAFT 18 March 2023 With high temperatures and a high fire danger, we abandoned our plan to visit Kanangra and decided to cool ourselves in Wollangambe Two instead.

GREAT UNCLE GEORGE 16 March 2023 Kevin wanted to christen his new Bestard boots: I was happy to oblige! So off we went to Great Uncle George on a sunny hot day! I love creeks and waterfalls: this was paradise and we had it for us alone!
HAT HILL CANYON 20 February 2023 Old logs have gone, log jams have appeared after the storms from the last three years. Still a lovely little creek to visit on a hot day!
