After arranging the car shuffle from Sheoak car park, we set
off from Allenvale. Despite the forecast, there was no rain, (not even
drizzle). The tracks were in good condition, and we had them pretty much to
ourselves. First stop was Phantom Falls, followed by a small scramble down into
The Canyon. (Ed had checked the walk on his bike, and said this spot was a
little challenging,) Then through fern gully and up to Henderson Falls, before
returning to the Sheoak picnic ground for a leisurely lunch.
Energized, we
headed west to the ever attractive Lower and Upper Kalimna Falls before
returning east along the Garvey Track. We then headed south towards Castle
Rock, but with a thick fog having descended by now, we bypassed this lookout
point, and headed straight to Sheoak falls before returning to the car park.
The 15km walk took about 6 hours including breaks. Everyone enjoyed the walk,
including 1st timer Johanne, who, along with Kim and Joan, kept their driver
Bernard alert with great conversation.
Thanks for the good company, and many
thanks to Ed for leading the walk.
