1. When passing through the boulder field, don't be tempted to slither down any place where you can't get back up again. There ARE lots of dead ends.
2. Whenever the "obvious" route doesn't go, there is a non-obvious route that does go.
In the downstream direction, there is one point where you must leave the boulder field and climb a few metres up the left bank before "spiraling" back down around some big boulders. There is another point where you must leave the boulder field and climb a few metres up the right bank before returning to the creek via a debris-filled ramp.
Provided you look for the good route rather than ploughing forward regardless, navigating the boulder field is both straightforward and satisfying. There's no rockclimbing or dodgy scrambling needed. But don't do it during wet weather - the limestone becomes unbelievably slippery.
