Ettrema Wilderness: Deception Creek to Myall Ck

We will visit a less visited part of the Ettrema Wilderness. We will drive as far as we can on Tolwong Road from Canberra (hopefully get past the Tullyangela property) and start walking towards and into Deception Creek to camp 1 under an overhang. From there the adventure begins as we make our way into Deception Canyon. There is a crux point in Deception requiring an unavoidable descent down a waterfall up to 10m from memory (eg via a rope-assisted belayeded climb down or improvised abseil) - so participants must be capable of doing this. But there is a surprise geographical feature in Deception which will reward and delight. After we reach Ettrema Ck we'll make our way upstream towards Myall Ck which we'll use to get back to the cars. At least 2 camps will be be in Ettrema in order to enjoy this wild creek and it's side tributaries. I've allowed a 6 day window which allows for an adjustment to the start date due to weather forecasts. The overall length of the trip is 5 days. This is largely an offtrack walk and participants must be experienced and fit offtrack pack walkers.
