Come along as we explore some remote country in the Wollemi NP on the eastern side of the Colo River.
Expect the first day to be a decent track with a steep descent and a river crossing (typically waist deep) to the stunning Canoe Ck, while the second day we ascend the lesser trafficked pass #18 with excellent views over the Canoe Ck junction. We will probably encounter heavy chest high scrub up on a bush bash back to the cars.
The total hike should be approximately 12-15km over the two days with around 400m elevation change, but expect slow walking with the thick scrub post fires.
