RNP Muddy Creek

[dnaylor]

Hi again..
spotted an interesting rock formation along the Muddy creek in RNP and was wondering if anyone here has accessed the area between

and
https://goo.gl/maps/jYcff2ZNgBESPXoe6
i was thinking coming in from here at https://goo.gl/maps/dv1HfTgedVFNA7317
I noticed that would cross an old track at around here.. https://goo.gl/maps/FPSLpV5982jXtSmo7
any info on where this track starts?

Looks to me to be The Meadows Fire Trail.

The Meadows fire trail is too far east.

Page 88 of the DoE doc hints that Muddy creek is reached from the Winifred Falls track: https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/-/me ... l-park.pdf . Not sure of this implies that there is a track to follow or just that the Winifred Falls track crosses it.

I think what you are looking at is the water course that is the creek.. when it flows..

According to the LPI Base Map the creek crosses the Winifred Falls Trail at -34.080817603096925, 151.06813788346946

I have extended the creek in OSM using the LPI data so it should show up in a day or so.

Many years ago I walked more or less where you plan, from the Hacking River, then up Muddy Creek.

I recall camping on big rock platforms beside the creek- so it must have been the features you mention.

From memory there were some small rounded clifflines above the Hacking River heading east.

it was all cross country, and nothing too extreme from memory- BUT, depending on time since last fire, things can get extremely thick in that part of the world.

that sounds great, yes I've sometimes battled through our wonderful scrub that's armored... lol im thinking of doing it as a leisurely 2 day trip assuming very slow progress through scrub...

The track referred to in map ref https://goo.gl/maps/FPSLpV5982jXtSmo7 travels over ground that wouldn't work as a stream most of the way naturally so i think is actually an old track that would tend to be eroded in time but as I've often found, reality of trying to follow these on the ground is hard as satellite views can cut through thickets and overgrowth quite well...

The waymark is within ~10 meters of the stream given by the LPI base map. Not unusual for that amount of error between the map and actuality...

Best thing .. go and look.

2005 satellite image shows something interesting heading north from just to the east of where the Winifred Track crosses Muddy Ck.

As Warin said, have a look is the only way to solve this. And best of luck, as you can guarantee the scrub will be bad.

Cheers,
Michael.
