We leave a ca r near the gate on Mount Budawang Road and another on Budawang Road. Fro m Budawang Road, we head to Currowan Ck (around 1km) and then head downs tream 1.5km to take a look at the magnificent Currowan Falls from above. We then retrace our steps 1.5km to a bend in the Ck and head back upstr eam a little further to see if a lovely strand of tree ferns is still st anding. From this area, I'd like to see if we can cut east across a ridg e to Currowan Ck (190m climbing, 40m descent). If we succeed it's around 2-3km back to the other car. However, this section may possibly be thic k with regrowth and we may have to beat a retreat. All of the walk is of f track and largely exploratory for the leader since the 2019/20 fires. Because we will be in the creek most of the time there will be wet feet and rockhopping on slippery rocks. Away from the creek it will be thick bush and scrub. Participants need to be experienced at this type of off track walking, reasonably fit and suitably prepared to cope with whateve r the terrain might throw at us. Please read the details of the activity before signing up. The group will meet at Braidwood before proceeding t o the start of the walk. Car pooling is available from meetup spots in n orth and south Canberra. (Nb this trip has been rescheduled from October 2024 and revised to be focused on exploring Currowan Ck. The start and finish times do not include driving to the walk.) URL:https://canberrabushwalkingclub.mybilby.com/activities/2724 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
