Route
Description
This walk was led by the Brindabella Bushwalking Club. I joined the walk as a guest.
The walk commenced at the Booroomba Rocks carpark and we quickly walked up the track from there to Booroomba Rocks itself. From there we could look down Blue Gum Creek and the route we were to follow.
After taking in the views we went off-track along the ridge to the northeast and descended to the unnamed creek at around map reference 55H FA 81508 63972. This was quite a steep and rocky section of the walk.
Finishing our descent we proceeded in a roughly northerly direction down to Blue Gum Creek, where we could look back at Booroomba Rocks from below.
We stopped along the creek for lunch.
We followed Blue Gum Creek to the northeast, crossing the creek many times and rock-hopping to find the best path. After walking about 2.5 kilometers along the creek we came to a management trail that follows Georges Creek to the south. We followed this to Bushfold Flats, where we took the Australian Alps Walking Track back to our starting point.
