I had enthusiastically booked with Maurice Smith for his “Ettrema Creek" trip when I first saw the walk in the spring, program. Memories of a much earlier visit to the area with Bill Capon brought back (now fading) pictures of those spectacular Ettrema Gorges and the rugged Myall Creek and I thought it would be wonderful to do it again. | I had enthusiastically booked with Maurice Smith for his “Ettrema Creek" trip when I first saw the walk in the spring, program.

Whilst making our way to The Hole we found an impossible side creek (just as well only one of us went over the overhang - we had to pull him back!). Geoff vowed to return to conquer by abseil. While the retrieval attempts were happening, we were buzzed by a nesting pair of rufous fantails whose nest was precariously glued to a meagre branch above the drop. We retraced our steps and continued on to Geoff’s usual way and then, THE HOLE. | Whilst making our way to The Hole we found an impossible side creek (just as well only one of us went over the overhang - we had to pull him back!).

Ominous clouds rolled across above and we became very cold, but it wasn't just because of the weather! We gladly donned our thermals. Cold, wet, slimy, scary - one at a time, with our packs on, we slid into a freezing deep pool, swam a few metres, slipped and slithered, quivered and quaked across a short, slimy, sloping section to dangle over the next edge on a rope. A few feet of freefall to more slippery rocks and Geoffs open arms, then drop packs down into a large pool at the bottom. A very thin slippery sidle with a handline for psychological comfort and Peter Lafferty" | Ominous clouds rolled across above and we became very cold, but it wasn't just because of the weather!
