Anyone up for a camping night at Woods Point, probably early in the new year?  

Would like to leave a truck at the Woods Point Hilton out the back of Comet Flat, drive up the top of Webster Spur track, walk down to the waterwheel and ruins, then out along the creek, pick up the truck at the Hilton and drive back up Johnson Hill track to Webster Spur, pick up the other truck or trucks depending how many want to go.

Camp the night at Comet Flat or similar, drink beer around campfire then head out using Violet Town track and Casper Creek track the next morning.  So not a lot of 4WD'ing just a poke around and explore, then drink beer.

If you were feeling really fit you could have a look at the leichardt gold battery, anyone seen that before?

Edit, just found a pic, looks pretty rooted now.

Yeah that looks a bit shagged but I'd be up for a stroll.  Motortbikes still look like they access Abbott creek track as there's single wheel mark over the bulldozer hump and gully.  Take a few travellers and a Mars bar and I could walk all day.  Well, at least 20 minutes....   If it's at the bottom of the gully it's not far and not steep.  It's only steep going OUT the other side which is why they closed it.

Good oh sounds like we've got a few interested bods as soon as I know when work is closing for Xmas - they haven't posted the dates yet- I'll post it up here as kelvin is ok with a walking trip getting posted. We'll still have some 4x4 tracks but it will be an overnighter with some time around the fire recovering from that thing they call walking.. Cheers and thanks for the interest.

I can't find much info on the old town of Wyeton, it looks like about 1km from the hilton.

I'll see if I can have a look next week.
