Hello everybody,
Back 10 or so years ago a guy named Dave Farrer(?)/Farrell(?)/Hawkeye(?) took a group of us scouts on a walk from his property in Bonogin up to Springbrook.
It was a full day walk. Rather difficult and involving quite a bit of machete use.
I am trying to find out if this is a "walk" or more of a private property thing, as I would love to do it again now that I'm older.
My memory of the event is rather sketchy, but here goes:
- we started near the end of bonogin road
- there were a couple of rocky peaks that we went around (he had an old notebook that told him which side of the peak was safe to go on)
- there was lots of wait a while and lantana
- we stopped on a large rocky outcrop, possibly on the top of one of these peaks.
- outcrop was large enough to hold about 15 of us, had some dangerous drop off, we were not allowed to go past a certain point.
- view from outcrop (to the left?) was a banana plantation, possibly some power lines and a little shed
- there was a bit of climbing involved in getting up to the rocky outcrop
- some point during the walk we reached the summit of another hill that had a small cleared area and a little post. apparently you could camp there as we were planning our next overnight adventure to stay there.
- near the beginning of the walk was a tree that bad a branch grown in a loop, apparently only the locals knew about this
Initially I thought this was the cougals, but I was pretty certain we started from his property in bonogin and tracking over to cougals before hitting the cream track from bonogin seems a bit too much
Does anybody know another rocky outcrop that might match this description? or is it the cougals?
Thanks!
Dave
