The party of 9 set off from the cars at an easy pace on the fire-trail before pushing through very bushy re-growth to find the right ridge. It took 2 hours to achieve 2 km of progress so it must have been really good re-growth. They lunched in a cold but dry creek bed then spent 2 hours getting to the Colo through lawyer vines, across green covered rocks and around fallen timber in the self-same creek. From there the Colo was more straightforward going with 4 km of sandy going, some wading and some clambering along sandy banks. They made it to the campsite at Tootie Creek junction just before 1700h. |

Some of the party went up the Colo to seek Mailes Cave and the rest went part of the way then returned to Tootie Creek. The original intention had been to walk up Tootie Creek and exit via a steep ridge. Plan B saw them taking the track from the Junction all the way to the top. This track is nonetheless very steep and exposed in places, leading up to a lookout that gives great views over the Colo. They followed the ridge top from there to reach the fire-trail just after 1500h. Then it was just a 5km stroll back to the cars. |
