- Description
- In 1804 the explorer George Caley descended into the Devils Wilderness via a pass that he described in his journal in some detail. That pass is still there today just as Caley found it, unnamed and uncommermorated. We will trace a portion of Caley’s route, including the aforementioned pass, as far as the junction of Wilderness Brook and the Grose. From there we will follow the Grose downstream to a gully below Dark Creek where we will exit to Browns ridge and the fire trail back to Paterson Range and our vehicles. Expect a long, hard day. Off track with one 10 meter climb down. Caley used a rope fashioned from vines. We will use a tape fashioned from synthetic fibres!
