Today we headed off to do the northern section of the tele track. We were expecting this section is more challenging than the Southern section.
The first crossing was canal creek near our camp, this was quite potholey & a little deep.
Sam creek was pretty easy going but the next 2 crossings at Mistake & Cannibal creeks were quite steep & eroded. The creeks here are really beautiful & the water is crystal clear.
Next was the log crossing at Cypress Creek. It looked pretty old & rickety but actually wasn't too hard to cross.
After Cypress we came to Logan Creek. This was just not our crossing. First up Ash jammed her finger in the door getting out of the car & she did a pretty good job of it, with a pretty deep cut. Out came the first aid kit to bandage up the finger.
It's also the place where we took the car for a swim. The creek was pretty deep with a soft bottom & we considered turning back but we were only 2 crossings away from finishing the tele track so decided to give it a go. About half way accross the wheels bogged into the soft bottom, luckily there was a fellow traveller on the other side who snatched us out. But not before we ended up with soggy carpets.
The last crossing was the notorious Nolan's Brook, the deepest crossing on the track, which has apparently already claimed 13 cars this season. I was more than a little worried about this one but with a bit of teamwork from some guys we met on the track we all made it through no problem.
Time to head back to our camp at canal creek to celebrate conquering the tele track.
