-TALBINGO.
-Walkers who propose to set out from (or arrive back at) Talbingo may be lured into attempting the track (shown an the Northern Sheet of the Kosciusko Snow Lease Maps) which climbs up from Boonoo Hut on the Peak River, through a gap at 4.200-ft. just east of Mount Numbanange in the Peak Range, following down The Rings Creek, and,out to Talbingo. An additional inducement is the place marked as hThe Rings - Blackfellowst Borah Groundli on the upper part of Rings Creek. The Sncm Lease Maps are usually reliable, both as far as topographical detail and trails, huts, fences, etc. are concerned. In this particular case, however, the track just does not exist.
+----
-The ascent from Boonoo an Peaks River is similar in severity of gradient, undergrowth and rocky footing to the Wild Dog Mountains. Before leaving the river determine which is the correct gap (it is easy to Dick), and choose a ridge which leads up close beside the gap. At about 3,500-ft. the vegetation becomes sparse, but rough granite rodks make the going slow, and tree fells force one to detour. When cpproximately on a level with the gap, drop off the ridge and sidle towards the ge,p - avoiding the bed of Numbanange Creek which is thickly grown.
-- About half a mile beyond the gap we picked up a faint pad along Rings Creek, and followed this over some open count ry (without locating the Borah Ground). Presently-the creek begins to descend and the trail enters scrub and timber again, eventually petering out against a fence (about 4 miles from the gap). A further half mile along the creek brings one to the Hut shown an the map, and one is inclined to look for a clear trail out from here. However, an heading up the hill, almost due west from the hut, we lost the track On the top of the first spur, descended into the head of a small valley, and climbed the spur an-the opposite side. At this point we decided to pick up the main ridge, which is shown to have a fence following it through to Talbingo, and turned about north-west for half a mile through open stuff.
+=====Track and Trail.=====
-The fence, when we located it, was a tumble-dawn affair, and led through some very densely grown stuff over a graniteknob, then down on a gently falling grade. The going here, for a space, was about as bad as any ridge-top country I have ever encountered. Presently, following the fence, we came to a wooden gate, and from this point picked up traces of the track we had mislaid earlier. The trail dropped rapidly toward the grassed valleys more than 2,000-ft. below, emerging an Jounama Creek about half a mile west of Talbingo village.
