NSW Day 68 (210)
Naas River |
Tuesday 21st December, 2021 34km
4291.7 / 807.2 km
Got up early enough. They leave a toilet open at the Namadgi centre.
So it's quite civilised.
The trail turns off before the visitors centre but that road has been closed due to flooding so I walk down the main road before walking across a new bridge being built on the main road.
The trail then turns up the Naas River Valley. It's fairly uninspiring and in short time I'm at Caloola Farm. I'm booked yo camp the night but it's only 10am. I wander around but can't find anyone.
The river is rushing over the concrete causeway but I balance on the kerbing on the side where the water is shallower and go across. I wander down the road and Belinda has finally got hold of someone from Caloola.
They are not there but send the message that I'm welcome at the bunkhouse and the track in front of green building leads to campground. By this time I'm passed any buildings. I decide to continue walking. Hope they use my money on signage. Would make it a lot easier.
The track follows the river and the notes say it needs to be crossed 8 times. I have a quick look and I need to take my boots off at each crossing but I'm able to walk in my sandals between a few of them. So I get past the eighth crossing and set up camp next to the road. I'm trying to work out what to do for Christmas Day. At my current pace I will be in the middle of nowhere
Typical creek crossings. All required removal of boots. |
Another one |
Camped after 8th one. No cars should come. |
