Six Foot Track
Two mates asked me to go for a 2 days bushwalking trip on the Six Foot Track during the 2006 Easter break. Looking for a justification for my new rucksack I quickly agreed.
We didn't do the entire 42km, that will take 3 days worth of walk, instead we did a section from the Megalong Valley Rd's Cemetary down to Cox's River camp site. It is a 7km walk down, and another 7km to walk back to the car at the cemetary.
It's the best section of the entire Six Foot Track as my friends claimed (they've done the full 42km), but the coolest thing is Bowtell Bridge. It is an alternative route to cross Cox's River if it's flooded, but I reckon most people will cross the bridge for the hell of it. It's a suspension bridge, hanging about 10 - 15m above Cox's River and by God it swings around when you cross it - for safety reason only 1 person is allowed at any time. Although it looks scary and it does scare you a bit when you're crossing it, it's actually quite safe. I saw a few kids jumping around the bridge on the way back.
Cox's River camping ground is quite large, unfortunately it is accessible by cars from the Jenolan Cave's side. There was a large group of families with very noisy kids and one trumpet. Whoever played that trumpet only knows a part of a song, the soundtrack of Lord of the Rings. Luckily all the kids got tired after all those screaming and running and went to sleep early, leaving the rest of us a quite night.
Nothing much happened on the way up, it's just a nice 2 days bushwalking trip. I'm glad I did it.
