6 days Colo River Gorge hike, Wollimi Wilderness Area-NSW 

Thanks glad that you enjoy it, the Colo River Gorge beautiful and rugged wilderness so close to Sydney. We are all extremely fortunate that it will always remain so

It's a remarkable unspoiled area of wilderness so close to Sydney that we are extremely fortunate to have access to, happy hiking

It certainly is a wonderful magic place & considering that it could have been lost to all of us if a dam had been built.

Thanks that would have been a great trip, I came across two people rafting down the Colo & they had to haul their rafts over the many boulders & other obstacles. They said it was particularly slow & hard going, nothing is easy is you want lasting memories, happy hiking

Thanks glad that you enjoyed it the Colo River Gorge has some accessible areas which are wonderful like Canoe Creek campsite and some which are just as remarkable but extremely inaccessible

Thanks Dave glad you enjoyed it & thanks for subscribing. This particular circuit was outstanding we originally had seven days and multiple plans but the going was particularly hard and slow due to the volume of uprooted trees washed down by numerous floods that have occurred these last three years and I only saw one person on the third day walking on their own. Yes there is safety in numbers as I found out in my video to the Frankland Range south west Tasmania as the weather was so bad that we camped on a swamp for three days till weather cleared to be able to walk out. An extra pair of eyes can spot a better way as there are no tracks except on our exit from Canoe Ck campsite and if you are a solo hiker then that choice is open to you. Grassy Hill firetrail we left our car and there were a few cars parked there the people then walked down to Canoe Ck campsite about three hours then set up camp there then you can explore Colo river upstream or downstream and use Canoe Ck as your base, it's still magnificent country, Happy Hiking

Yes that's right when the easiest option is to wade up the Colo River & you're constantly caught with quicksand it uses up a lot of energy when you have a large backpack on your back. Nevertheless it was a great 6 day circuit, I saw your video of the Wollimi Wilderness great job Happy Hiking

The Canoe Creek track was our exit route on day six the other five days was off track getting down to the Colo River then follow it upstream to Canoe Creek campsite. The climb out of Canoe Creek is steep but it gives you amazing views of the Colo Gorge, Happy Hiking

@@JoeCarmona long trip mate! I'd never been so happy to reach my car after that trip I'll tell you! Thanks and all the best👌

@@Jim-yk9zw It was done in summer heat above 32c and high humidity fortunately the best way to travel upstream was in the river so we were in the water most of the time, Happy Hiking

Thanks Beat for been a bushwalking actor & companion on what was an amazing 6 days in the Colo River with so many memories that it was difficult of what to put in & what to leave out that's the reality of editing & why it's so difficult. I look forward to your movie

Grassy Hill firetrail has a small open area where people who walk down to the Canoe Creek trail campsite leave their cars, we walked along the firetrail for a few kilometres then totally off track and headed towards Angorawa Creek that flows onto the Colo River, the first night campsite was short of Angorawa Creek on another creek as the going was extremely slow. It was not a campsite more of an improvised area that we had to do quite a bit of gardening there's several areas that could work as campsites. The second day was on the Colo River and one of the most spectacular areas to camp, happy hiking

Thanks Joel, no pain no gain what we bush masochist's experience are incredible sights that offer such rewards that keeps us coming back for more, Happy Hiking
