About this event
SUNDAY 9 AUGUST - Lower Little Crystal Creek Falls
Introduction to creek based and offtrack walking
REGISTRATION WITH THE WALK LEADER IS ESSENTIAL. PLEASE READ THE INFORMATION BELOW.
DESCRIPTION
An introductory walk to explore the lower reaches of Little Crystal Creek. There is no track - this walk will be all cross country - including a steep scrubby hill, and some rock hopping followed by long grass, some more scrub to bash through with uneven footing (there has been burn-off in the area, so hopefully not too much long grass / scrub). This walk Includes a ravine / gorge explore, and a great waterfall and pool for a swim. This is a good introduction to the type of off track cross country walking the TBWC does.
FITNESS
It is not a long distance, but reasonable off-track fitness is required for the steep hill climb and rock hopping.
WHAT TO BRING
- Water: you will need water for half day eg minimum 2L
- Clothing: there is a lot of long grass and scrub so full long sleeve clothing is recommended. Many members also wear fingerless gloves.
- Enclosed footwear
- Food for the day
- Hat, sunscreen and insect repellent
- Usual bushwalking gear
- Personal first aid kit including a compression bandage and blister kit is recommended.
WALK DETAILS
Meet time: 8am Bruce Hwy near Paluma turnoff
Return time: aim to be back at the cars by lunchtime
COST
Non members = $5 walk fee for insurance
MAX GROUP SIZE: 12 walkers
Must be over 18years to participate
