9.30am - meet at Barbara's place 1512 Cudgewa Valley Rd.
 
We car pool from here as there is not much room to park vehicles at the start of the walk.
 
Initially we follow a 4WD track to Hinces Clearing, stepping over some small creeks. The walking track then rises steadily beside Hinces Creek, a delightful ferny and secluded haven for a variety of bird life. The track can be a little swampy until we get to higher elevations. A small seasonal waterfall is located on a tributary along the way. This is a Grade 4 walk as there is some fallen timber to negotiate in many places along the track since the bushfires and parts are a bit overgrown.
Bring morning tea and lunch.
