I remember reading on an earlier thread that some of you might be keen to head up to North Queensland for a week or 2 of hiking/ rafting this year? I am certainly keen and would love to float the Tully and do some hiking and potentially rafting around the misty mountains. Now, getting into the grandiose (which I am notorious for!) we could even make it a bit of an Oz/NZ convention. Maybe run a couple of games/ events and get to know each other and then maybe cycle it to somewhere like NZ or Tas in the following years (in summer obviously).
Would definitely be interested to float the Tully. Late July, early August seems like a good time to escape winter. The Tully flows all year, other creeks/rivers at that time could be pretty low. Level dependent, you could hike up and float down Cannabullen Creek to Cochable Creek and into the Tully.
Great to hear you are keen too! Also, late July/ early Aug is what I was thinking too. June isn’t too bad, but by July/August I am definitely keen for a break from the cold!
Good plans regarding other creeks, also with rafts we would not need (or want) as much water as kayaks do, so we would hopefully have a bit of luck! There is also a sweet little campsite right next to the river.
for Jen and I but keep us informed as we will certainly consider.
