Dumbano Creek
We will leave cars near the Dumbano Tunnels access point and head ENE along a series of ridges before dropping into Dumbano Creek and following it downstream. We will continue along the creek until we run out of time or energy, or get to a section we can't reverse. All off-track. The creek section is exploratory for the leader. Expect lots of slippery creek walking and rock scrambling, scrubby sections, and some swims (so you may need a wetsuit). Participants must be capable of long swims with a pack. Estimated 8-12 km with 200-300 descent/ascent.

Middle Du Faur Creek
[This activity description has changed since it was originally posted. The original description included a section of Du Faur Creek that was further downstream.] We will leave Bells Line of Road and head North down a long ridge, meeting Du Faur Creek at 523878. From there we will walk, wade and swim for about 1.5 km down the creek, exiting near 525888. I estimate the trip will be about 11 km, taking around 6 or 7 hours. All the walk is off-track. There may be some rock scrambling. Most of the section along Du Faur Creek is exploratory for the leader. I am not sure how much swimming there will be so participants must be strong swimmers.

From Constance Point to Constance Gorge via Tiger Snake Point
I can also do Friday 26 December and will go with the majority. A unique opportunity to do a Wolgan Valley walk. I have organised transport for up to 5 people (including myself) from the locked gate at the top to the start of the walk on Wolgan Road. We will climb up to Constance Point and explore the area around, then follow the ridge south and come down towards Tiger Snake Point. From here, we will descend into Constance Gorge, turn north and follow it to Zobels Gully, which leads back down to the cars. About 10 km. Partly exploratory. Scrambling and exposure.
