MORONG DEEP – JANUARY 2010
Morong Creek Fire Trail > Morong Creek > Morong Deep (Kowmung River) > Megalith Spur & Ridge > Morong Creek Fire Trail
So, here we were again, another Oz Day LWE, will it be third time lucky?  The Repeat Offenders, me, Steve C, Jeff B, Len S, plus Simon R and Tamara C (both experienced bush walkers).  Jenny couldn’t join us, she’d had a fall and had sustained a head injury just a few weeks earlier, so Jen, this trip’s for you!

Kowmung Fire Trail ford > Kowmung River > Morong Deep > Megalith Ridge > Morong Hill > Morong Falls Fire Trail
