Alligator Creek area exploratory creek walk

About this event
When: Saturday 27 June 2026, 7:00 am
Location: Alligator Creek area, Bowling Green Bay National Park
Leader: Luen
Grade: 4/5 - off-track creek walking, rock hopping, and rough terrain
Distance: ~10km return
Duration: Half day, around 4-5 hours.
RSVP: [email protected]
Join us for a half-day exploratory walk in the Alligator Creek area of Bowling Green Bay National Park. The current plan is to explore one of the creeks in the area, with a mix of off-track walking, rock hopping, creek travel, and some contouring through the rainforest understory.
The exact trip plan is still being refined and will be reassessed closer to the date based on conditions, water levels, access, and the group's movement on the day. There are a few waterfalls and creek features we would like to investigate. They may be running low or even a little dry at this time of year, but the area should still make for an enjoyable morning of exploration, scrambling, and bushwalking.
Participants should be comfortable moving over uneven rocks, walking off-track, ducking through vegetation, and travelling in creek terrain where the easiest line may change as we go. This is not a long walk, but it will involve rough ground and some exploratory decision-making, so a reasonable level of fitness and confidence in off-track terrain is recommended.
Bring:
* At least 2 L of water
* Morning tea and snacks
* Sturdy footwear
* Sun protection
* Insect repellent
* Long sleeves or long pants for vegetation
* First aid kit and compression bandage
* A small dry bag or waterproofing for valuables
Meeting details will be provided once you RSVP. Clicking "Going" on Facebook does not register you for the event. The meeting location and final details will be emailed to you by the walk leader once you have RSVP'd.
