| 22/6/02 | 8 | 23 | Currumbin rocks | Boyd's Butte | trail on ridge up to BB stops at scree slope |
| 23/6/02 | 8 | 13 | Boyd's Butte | Kennedy's Lookout | Lemon Scented Tea Trees at Kennedy's Lookout. Cream Track ends on private property. |
| 24/6/02 | 8 | 18 | Kennedy's Lookout | Bithongabel | Met David Kenrick at Bithongabel at 3pm. Heck of a climb up to Mount Wagawn |
| 25/6/02 | 11.5 | 24 | Bithongabel | Point Lookout | David and I were going to walk to Richmond Gap together. Taking the shortcut to Echo Point, David pulled a 1 tonne bolder over his foot breaking a bone in his foot. It took a few hours to help him to O Reillies before I walked back to Point Lookout. It got dark climbing up to PL and I lost the track several times. What a relief it was to finally get to PL at 7pm! |
| 26/6/02 | 11 | 18 | Point Lookout | Grady's Ck | What a disaster! Got to Tweed Trig quite easily by about 9:30 and then it all went horribly wrong. There is no clear track from TT to Mt Gipps and I kept ending up on the wrong ridge or in gullies. Eventually I was on the right track but thought I was on the track to Black Snake Rige so I corrected when I didn't need to and ended up in Grady's Creek at the foot of Mt Hutley. Light was fading and I felt the walk was doomed so I struck camp in the creek feeling a little miserable. |
| 27/6/02 | 11 | 21 | Grady's Ck | North of Long Ck | Until lunch time I rockhopped down Grady's Ck. A dirt road was found and followed until the Lions Rd was recovered. Richmond Gap was reached and 3 hours along the rabbit fence commenced. |
| 28/6/02 | 11 | 28 | North of Long Ck | Mount Lindsay Border Gate | Long Ck Falls, Avocado Farm Mt Tanna bypass, Mt Glennie bypass, Mt Lindsay Rd |
| 29/6/02 | 13 | 35 | Mount Lindsay Border Gate | East of Wilson's Peak | Getting up at 3 I started along the rabbit fence at 4:30. I was on Mt Clunie at lunch time and at the White Swamp Border Gate to see Nancy Richardson at about 3pm. Leaving at 3:30 I walked another 2 hours or so until I was on the edge of Wilson's Peak. |
| 30/6/02 | 12 | 17 | East of Wilson's Peak | Lower Panorama Point | Rugged terrain and bush bashing to Mt Bell and Mt Roberts slowed the pace today. I counted myself damn lucky just to get to Lower Panorama Point. The nights at the moment are subzero! I cornered a grey kangaroo on Wilson's Peak but no harm came of the encounter. |
| 1/7/02 | 11 | 18 | Lower Panorama Point | Cunningham's Gap | Rugged terrain again. Ususal water sources were nearly dry. By Doubletop I knew I would get out today and not tomorrow. I rang Denise and arranged a lift. I was glad to be at C.G. at 5 pm |
