Russells needle since the fires & floods

Postby Osik » Thu 01 Sep, 2022 9:07 pm

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone's been out that way since the fires in 2019/20 & the floods over recent years? Was thinking of doing a loop via slotts & starlight at some point over the next couple of weeks. Just wondering how much it's changed over the last couple of years since most of the trip reports were written.
I've been out to bonnum pic in that time but not down to the nattai river

I was there post fire and floods but not since. At that time everything was very open and nav very easy, but not sure what it looks like now with regrowth?

I came up Starlight a couple months ago and it was a bit bushy but fine.
Last time I went through slotts was about a year ago, and it was a bit overgrown, some native incense plant (that may have died off now) but it wasn't too bad.
I'm sure it will be a lot easier than some other places out there. I hope you have a good trip.
