Details	The club has enjoyed exploring the high country of Washpool and Gibraltar Ranges National Parks in central northern NSW, so this time we’ll delve into the deep valley just south of this area. Meeting 7am in the top K-Mart carpark (off Stenner St next to the mail exchange) we’ll then head south through Tenterfield to turn east at the Dundee shortcut road to the Gwydir highway. Once on the highway heading towards Grafton, we travel 9km before turning right and descending (an understatement) into the valley via a good dirt/ bitumen road. Distance about 300km each way. I have no particular walks planned for this weekend (and will defer to Adrian’s greater experience of the area), but intend the creekside campground to be a home base for explorations and relaxation. Rocky slabs and pools make it a pleasant spot to refresh and recharge, so bring a good book, deck of cards and plenty to eat. Campground is basic with composting toilet, a few tables, and some friendly wallabies. Call if you have questions, otherwise, see you then. Jason Stone – 0416 346648 jason@spirituality.net.au
