Party - John, Chuin Nee, Jasper, Su Li, Brent, Dave

The plan was to camp at Goochs Crater. Chuin Nee, Brent and Su Li were going climbing at Bung Crag in the South Branch of Bungleboori Ck, and John, Jasper and myself joined the others at the crag in the morning.

John, Jasper and myself then went for a walk up the South Branch of Bungleboori Creek - past a few more climbing areas.

John, Jasper and myself then walked back to the car and drove out to the Lots City. None of us had been out that way before - and we were shocked at the wasteland the road had become. Four wheel drive tarcks everywhere - huge ruts, big deep pools of mud. Very distressing!

We then headed back to the Dumbano Fire Trail and walked down to Goochs Crater
