MOGO CREEK – OCTOBER 2015

We had heard of another club walking in this area, and they seemed to go back to it quite frequently. One of their leaders kindly told me where they went, plus gave me directions to some aboriginal art, so we were on a quest for a new campsite closer to home.
Trish N joined Jeff and me for the day. We set off from the Mogo Creek Campsite crossing the road and making our way to a high point. From here it was pretty straight forward, along a ridge and then down a spur to the Creek. It was a bit of a surprise to come to a nice grassy site with a “toilet” set up, looking at the map we were on what could have been private property in the National Park, but we weren’t sure. We took a look around and then headed upstream to an old fire trail crossing over to another large flat grassy area. There was a 4wd vehicle there and a man, so we stopped to have a chat, and yes we were on private property, a group of Sydney-siders had banded together and brought the property as a get-away. 
They had a bit of infrastructure there but mostly it was drive in and make camp. We got his permission to cross the field and went over to the spur that we wanted to climb to get to the ridge which would take us to the upper section of our side creek and The Lemon Tree that we’d heard about.
We were up on top of the ridge around morning tea, wandered along a little ways and then went down the other side, a bit of navigational error had us too far upstream so we wandered down a-ways and there, on a large flat area was what we were looking for The Lemon Tree. Others had camped here before, you could see evidence of a fire a couple of years ago, but it was not well used.
We walked downstream and within a k or so, came to the most amazing flat, grassy meadow, dotted with lovely large gums on the bank of the creek. We had finally found our grassy meadow, and we would definitely be back in the winter months to camp here!
We continued downstream, towards the junction of Mogo Creek, some of us in the creek and others on the bank 
(finding an easier way perhaps), and eventually met up just near where we would peel off to walk up to find the aboriginal art. It was really a no brainer, up the spur to the cliff-line and look around for an overhang, and, there it was a lovely cave with a drawing in 
it of a sun, hence The Sun Cave plus a couple of hand stencils. We took photos, looked around a little more for any other art, found nothing and then decided it was time to get back to the cars.
So, a bee-line down to Mogo Creek , crossed over it and made our way up a convenient spur and up to the ridge, eventually intersecting where we’d come down in the morning, from there it was a straight forward run back to our highpoint and the cards.
It was a great day of exploring, we found what we were looking for (always a bonus) and had decided on another walk for the Wish List!
