Mount Wee Jasper and Micalong Creek - overnight car camp

Sun 19th Apr 2020

Cancelled
Walk Car Camp

An overnight car camp with two walks in the Wee Jasper area. Arrive Day 1 after lunch and then walk along Micalong Creek to the junction of the Goodradigbee River and return. Option also to drive and visit Carey Caves rather than walk along the Creek if you wish. Visit the Micalong Falls and hope they are running nicely. Set up tents and use the bbqs to cook up a storm at our campsite at Micalong Creek Reserve. A spot of star gazing perhaps? Day 2 we'll pack up the tents and then drive down to the Fitzpatrick Trailhead of the Hume & Hovell Walking Track and then walk up Mt Wee Jasper. This is a bit of a rough goat track and a slow climb but should be fun. Please note that this is totally exploratory for the Leader.
