Overnight Hike Sat-Sun May 10-11

From Upper Wilsons we will hike past the intermitent Blue Lagoon (can't guarantee it will have water ) past the bottom of the Rockslide amd then along an easy 'terrace' that takes us to the huge landslide in the very headwater of the Wilsons River. Then there is a steep scramble with plenty of trees and shrubs to grab onto until we reach Rockface Rd. Then it is about 900 metres along the road until we intersect with the new multi-day Gidjuum Gulyani Walk as it ascends Mt Jerusalem. There is a campsite here with permanent water. On Sunday we ascend the 400 sandstone steps to the summit of Mt Jerusalem. There is a new lookout with amazing views over the Tweed Valley. As we descend from the summit we branch off onto Wild Dog Rd which heads towards Blackbutt Plateau. But at the saddle in this narrow ridge, we drop down into Dave Olivers and follow an old logging trail past his macadamia orchard and back to the start. This is the route of our new one day loop but we will be doing it slowly in 2 days with the addition of the Blue Lagoon and visiting the landslide.
