About this event
[EVENT FULL] SUNDAY 11 OCTOBER
REGISTRATION WITH THE WALK LEADER IS ESSENTIAL. PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW.
RATED: Mod -hard
DESCRIPTION
A club favourite walk up Palm Creek (St Margaret's Creek system) to the Terraces, Ultima Falls, Garden Wall, and High Camp. The Terraces/High Camp features many waterfalls and is one of the most scenic creeks in the region (and the state) and one of our local gems.
This will be a full day creek based hike with sections that are off track cross country over rough terrain. It will involve rockhopping, boulder scrambles, rockface traverses, scrub and vines, uneven footing, slippery rocks and a couple of steep climbs.
On way out, we'll stop at the at the Rockslides for a swim....
and most importantly, ice creams at the roadhouse on the way home to finish the day off. It will be a good day out for our adventurous bushwalkers.
FITNESS
To be suitable for this walk, a good analogy would be doing a Castle Hill spur, without a track, two-three times with ease before lunchtime.
