Sunday July 5, Coopers Creek + Cliffline Walk, Mount Jerusalem NP, FULLY BOOKED

We start by climbing Mount Jerusalem Road before turning into a secret entry towards the national park and eventually onto Coopers Creek. We then rock / boulder hop upstream and take a look at a secret campsite. We then do a little more rock-hopping, including climbing a steep waterfall or two, before taking an old logging road back towards Mount Jerusalem Road, which we then turn off towards the failed Flying Fox. Most people are familiar with the failed Flying Fox and how to get to it, however this walk is a little different because after getting to it via the conventional trail and enjoying its views, we'll walk along the cliffline for as long as we like (possibly even up to Mount Jerusalem, depending on time) to enjoy the views for longer. We will then turn around and return to the cars on the more conventional roads / trails. The boulder hopping and waterfall climbing is quite challenging, so this event is suitable for agile climbers and rock-hoppers with good grip shoes. Maximum 10 members, Grade 4, Map Huonbrook

Saturday July 11 - Iluka Paddle

To avoid having a car shuffle this year, we will leave middish morning from the upstream end of Iluka and head up the beautiful Esk River on the incoming tide. By the time we get somewhere near the road bridge and have lunch, the tide should have turned to assist our return paddle. Our participants always seem to enjoy this paddle.

Note that Heike K will be leading her popular Iluka/Woody Head walk the next day (Sun 12th), so why not make a weekend of it? We are meeting for dinner on Sat night at the pub if you would like to join in. Approx 12 kms. Grade medium.

Just text leader Winston to register. 0414 997 722.

Accommodation at Iluka is available for a few people at the Clarence Head Caravan Park. They have 2 x 2 bedroom cabins, double plus two singles, at a cost of $164 for the night. Contact Ruth mobile 0427846372
