Quite a bit of bush bashing. Lots of scrambling. I have done 100% of the track we intend to do on Sunday, so will not need to waste to much time trying to find the track. Important: Bring a headtorch just in case. Aiming to finish by 7:30pm, or at least get to carlon creek by then. Description: Starting from Dunphy’s we’ll hike to Splendour Rock by first going up Carlon Head, walk a bit on Narrow Neck down Tarros ladder, Wombat Parade. The track back to Dunphy’s from there does not get easier as Cattledog ridge is pretty much bush bashing (long pants/gaiter highly recommended). Once we get to carlon creek, it’s a nice walk along the creek back to Dunphy’s Campground Disclaimer: Not straight forward track, also not for people afraid of heights (chain climb up a cliff face up to carlon’s head). Stay together as a group, especially on Cattledog ridge. Weather: Looking good so far. Transport: Central Platform 6 6:24am gets to Blackheath at 8:38am, from here we will need to carpool to Dunphy’s Campground. (20 min drive from station) Water refill point: 25km mark as soon as we hit Carlon Creek, but they might be a few around Mobbs Soak depending on how much rain there is beforehand.
