[SUBW-A] Trip report: Cedar Creek 27-28 June

[Tim Vollmer]

Cedar Creek walk - Saturday 27 June to Sunday 28 June

Party: Annie Cote, Diana Godess, Mila Moutinho, Sky Reidy, Tim
Vollmer, Tom Tramby

Despite steadily improving weather forecasts, the last week saw the
party halve in size with work, family, illness and general softness
(grant you know who you are) meaning just six intrepid explorers set
out on along Narrow Neck on Saturday morning.
A smooth start to the day, with everyone arriving on time despite rail
track works, suckered me into an early detour out to Castle Head to
give the crew a chance to see exactly where we were walking. In
hindsight it was a bad call, but it is an irresistible view point.
The pleasant stroll got a boost when a group of black cockatoos
decided to not only sit directly above the track noisily calling, but
then took flight giving a display of their size and beauty.
The trek to Walls Pass went smoothly, with the gully found easily. We
stopped for lunch directly above the chains that run down the 15m rock
face. After a pleasant feed and cuppa we set out, lowering the packs
then sending down the people with the aid of a safety rope which
thankfully didn't need to be used.
