Easter Saturday 19 April 2025: Bendora Dam to Camels Hump Crossover
Sat 19th Apr 2025
The 'down' party is full. There are 3 spots available in the 'up' party.
A crossover walk, with one party walking the ‘up’ route from north of Bendora Dam to Camels Hump and the other party walking the ‘down’ route from Camels Hump. A razor spur runs from the Cotter River at 700m ASL through SH1085 and SH1269 to Camels Hump at 1444m ASL. Walk past the fabulous face in the cliff and ford the Cotter River 3 times. Around 15km and 850vm climb. The ‘up’ party led by Stephen Marchant and the ‘down’ party by John Evans.
Each party is limited to 8 walkers. Participants need to be robust, off-track walkers, used to moving through scrub.
It will be a long day, including the drive in/out via Bendora Road.
When expressing interest, please nominate your preference for ‘up’ or ‘down’, and whether you are able to drive. Drivers need to allow someone else to drive their vehicle back. 4WD/AWD preferable for the drive to Bendora Road (around 60km). 2wd suitable to drive to Mountain Creek carpark (around 20km).
