Telephone number: 0416 003 127
Distance (km): 13
Ascents (m): 200
Descents (m): 200Car pooling is not required for this activity.Details:The primary aim of this walk is to follow and connect Kierans Creek between Cooyong Neverfail Trail and the Warrimoo Track at St Ives Chase. We will start and finish on the Warrimoo and also traverse Ryaland Trail.
The trail walking is straight forward, however following Kierans Creek will involve portions of bush bashing, route finding, rock scrambling and possibly wet feet in the creek. The rewards are numerous pools along the way and you'll be walking through an area very few people have been to before. Along the creek is slow going, don't expect anything more than about 1.5klm an hour (for 2 - 3 hours).
We will not be starting too early, so it may be warm in the afternoon, however I expect to be along the creek by then, Good agility and balance will be an advantage. There is public transport to the start by Bus 195 if required. Joint walk with The Bush Club.
