We left a car at Jamieson Creek
and departed from Cumberland River Reserve along 4WD Cumberland Track, which
runs generally westwards along a ridge including Mount Defiance, alas no views.
This and other tracks are currently being extensively widened for fire fighting
purposes.we turned left at Curtis "Road" and shortly after, left
again at Wye River Road. From here we followed another ridge, taking the left
turn to Jamieson Track, which runs "basically" downhill to the Great
Ocean Road at Jamieson Creek. The tracks have some steep sections, where
walking poles would be necessary in muddy, slippery circumstances. The forests
are attractive when you look past the current destruction. Thanks for the good
company!
