We will be leaving Uriarra Crossing Reserve at 9am for an interesting drive into the western reaches of Brindabella National Park.
Travelling via Flea Creek for morning tea, Webbs Ridge, Water Fall Trail , McIntyres Trail and finally Lowells Flat Trail to set up camp near the Goodradigbee River.
We will explore McIntyres hut at some point.
This trip is not recommended for camper trailers as some of the tracks can be quite rough, winding, steep & narrow in places with a loose and rocky surface.
Here’s a good chance to engage 4WD and get some dirt under the tyres.

NB: There are currently some track closures in the area.  These tracks are expected to re-open soon.  If they are not re-opened in time for the trip we may need to reschedule to another weekend.

This is a byo everything trip with recovery gear and compressors required to be packed.  Bring mornos, lunch and arvos.  Take lots of photos for the trip report.

Not sure what the recent rains may have done to the tracks as I haven’t been there since January.

Depart Uriarra after the last participant/s (therefore trip scribe/s) have arrived but no later than 8:15am.

Head to Lowells Flat campground and maybe catch up with the weekend camping group for lunch.

After lunch, take in McIntyre’s Hut and campground before heading back up the tracks to the top of Mt Coree for views over Canberra.

From there it is all downhill……back to Uriarra West Picnic area.

Meeting and finishing place will be Uriarra West Picnic area.

Approximate distance is 110 km.

Meet at Williamsdale on the Friday morning ready for a 10:30 am departure. An early lunch in Cooma. Arrive at the Gungarlin River Campground about 3:00 pm.

Possible activities:

Walks: There are a number of pleasant walks in the area, including to Davey’s Hut., which is within easy walking distance of the campground.
Fishing; Gungarlin River is a popular trout stream.

And for those who just want to chill out? Why not?

The camp ground is at an altitude around 1200 metres, so the evenings will most likely be cool (or possibly freezing). The road in reaches 1400 metres, and can get snow on it. The walk to Cesjacks is along the Main Range, at around 1700 metres.
