23-25 Oct Really nice little walk. I didn't have 4wd so parked at Charlie Moreland and walked in via the fire trail. That meant around 23k first day to Wongai camp. 2nd night @ tallowood was lovely. Bit of light rain. At Summer Falls by 10am next day so continued through and back to Charlie Moreland by 2.30pm. After reading other walker comments, strongly recommend reading national parks blurbs re best times to walk...to avoid disappointment. October was a great time to walk, but I'd say anytime other than the wet season would be good. I'm taking my 10 yr old next weekend for her first multi-day hike. Imagine we'll take the 4 days this time, staying all three campsites. P.s. Don't walk in from Charlie Moreland unless you have to. Steep, boring, cleared land, cows. If you do, start real early/return late to avoid the sun. |
