Those of us who travelled to Nundle last weekend had a great weekend. Despite gloomy weather forecasts, we had brilliant sunshine except for a small thunderstorm late in the day. The group travelled via Scone and Timor on Saturday morning, enjoying a leisurely look around the picturesque and historic town of Nundle before setting up camp at Ponderosa Forest Park, a great spot amidst towering pines and deciduous trees.
There were some good tracks to keep us all entertained during the afternoon and evidence of a recent ferocious windstorm was everywhere with trees down over many tracks, causing the trip leader to rethink on the go!
A good campfire kept the cool evening at bay and on Sunday we packed up early and drove towards Barry Station winding our way through the Barnard River Valley and crossing over twenty creeks before eventually arriving at Ellerston. A loop through the western end of the Barringtons followed, along Tugalow and Thunderbolts trails, before we descended through the Dingo Gate, Moonan Flat and home.
