Yarramummun Fire Trail – Boolijah Creek – Ettrema Wilderness

30/04/2017    Yarramummun Fire Trail – Boolijah Creek

                         Ettrema Wilderness, NSW                                            

Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos), Sue Davies (Report)

Steve and I had decided a return trip to Boolijah Creek was in order as we had really enjoyed it when we did it four years ago. Time seemed to have dulled our memories of how tough it was!

The start of the walk is located on a small side track off the Yarramunmun Fire Trail, which is accessed via the Nerriga road. Apart from a stroll in along the fire trail the walk is completely off track with no defined path. The clamber down the creek gives good views of cascades and waterfalls, the most pleasant being the large pool at the lowest section of the creek reached on the walk. Continue reading

The old folks (Steve and Sue) took the young ones (Beth, Cristina and Darren) on an overnight adventure, including Cristina who had never been camping before. We arrived at Long Gully campground on Sunday afternoon and set up camp ahead of the young ones who arrived to the luxury of tents erected, sleeping bags out and dinner ready. The campground was the most crowded we had seen it as after all it was a long weekend. After the day trippers left, however, we had a peaceful evening and enjoyed a campfire on a clear calm warm evening.

After picking John Meehan, Lance, Bruce and Jo up by 7:30pm we were heading south. After a couple of beers at the Leprechaun Hotel we drove through and camped alongside the car in the tent by the side of the road. An amazingly fortunate choice of campsite as all the tent pegs went in very easily and remained firm all night.
