Flat Top Brook circuit (6-7 Aug 2022)
Caro put a Short Notice Walk on the Program which offered a short(er) drive from home, so we signed up. It ended up being a very satisfying weekend of exploring off the Mt Hay Road. And finished in time for afternoon tea in Leura on Sunday. As Tom would say “stoked!” 🙂
Heading off onto a ridge
How do we get down there? (note cairn on opposite side)
Scrambling up the other side
The leader surveys the terrain
I think it will go down there…
And indeed it did go.. all the way to Flat Top Brook
But what goes down must come up
Plenty of wattle in flower
Tom stoked with our destination for the night
The party checking out the views

Camping on the edge
An unexpected old fire trail
Tom decided winter is swimming weather. In Urella Brook.
Exiting from Urella Brook was a bit of work…
Waterfall in the upper reaches of Urella Brook
Grinding grooves
The top of the waterfall
Beautiful hanging swamp
Road bash back to the cars
