Current status of Hellfire Creek

Hi all,
planning on camping overnight at Hellfire creek campsite next weekend and wanted to check if anyone has been there lately and knows water availability in the creek.
thanks

In case nobody replies, the following may assist. It's the end of a somewhat dry summer. Hellfire Creek tends to be running at the end of winter, with the flow dropping as summer progresses. I have not been there for a while but I suspect that the flow will be low. Of course it's possible to go down further and find water. Hellfire Creek is very steep. Maybe carry water in or camp elsewhere.

I am planning to head out there over Easter so tell us how you get on. There is said to be water near King Billy 1 where the Timbertop students have put in a plastic pipe to form a spout at the source of a stream that forms a tributary of the MacAlister river. I am going to scout that out too. In any event carry extra water along the ridge lines because February has been very dry.

Hi - how did you get on at Hellfire? Was there water at Mac Springs? Planning on a walk this weekend and want to get water status. Cheers
