North West Bay River
Cathedral Rock Track
We met on Betts Road and headed up to the Cathedral Rock Track. Followed the river upstream, occasionally needing to climb above the river level, until we came to a stretch of river where we examined the rocks before returning.
(Marcus continued up to Cathedral Rock, see his photos after the map at the end of the blog)
Turning off onto the Cathedral Rock Track which becomes narrow and stony with ferns and tall trees to enjoy.
Water droplets on the leaves

Glimpses of the river which was running slightly, looking very clear
Mossy rocks
Debate raged.
A few obstacles, no problem for us!
A welcome break,
Debate about whether to cross the barrier...we did! But Marcus turned off and continued to climb up to Cathedral Rock.
Our destination. The cairns probably show the walkers who have come down from the Pipeline/Wellington Falls Track where to leave the river for the Cathedral Rock connection.
Finding sandstone with iron nodules.

A quicker walk back
There were 24 Ramblers. Lunch was at Longley International Hotel
