Participants: Stephen Davies (Leader, Photos, Report), Sue Davies, Trish Whitelaw
A predicted hot day ensured Trish, Sue and myself endeavoured to keep cool under trees or in water, hence our trip selection. An interesting diversion (bush bash) was taken along the southern side of Waterfall Gully Creek after the trail was lost at what looked like a creek crossing. We re-emerged onto the road at the junction of Coutts Creek, the trail and the road.
