Camp Report - Cullendore High Country, 12-15 May 2023

Matty's Dam at Cullendore High Country

Preliminary reports are that the camp was very enjoyable. From one attendee "We had a great camp – 18 attended.   Mostly fine until Sunday night when it rained most of the night and we packed up in light showers next morning." And another, "We went out each morning sharing cars, out again in the afternoon. Great fun." 

Banksia Campground

The camp was at the Banksia section of Creek Camp. An area where the Club hasn't camped before. It was for our exclusive use and has flush toilets and hot showers. Luxury camping indeed. 

There were a number of walks over the weekend; meandering creek-side of the camping area to a small dam, night-spotting in the cold, exploring the Overflow area around Matty's Dam, naturalizing along the Ashglen Dam Trail in Maryland National Park, and scrambling over the boulders behind Forest Camp. 

Much was seen and discussed, but most memorable is the friendly atmosphere, the campfires and the amazing natural scenery.
