Not a problem at all, which way are you coming from? I am coming from Crib Point, and normally stop at Moe for fuel, lunch, and the like. We could meet there. Nice central area, and last stop for extra fuel as well.

How to get to O’Tooles Flat

I'll be coming in Friday probably about 8.30 ish, depends on when I can get out of the door here I thought I had allready posted the following

How to get to O’Tooles Flat





Basically the drive to Moe ( Last chance for FUEL) then onto Erica then onto Rawson is pretty straight forward., Although you don’t go into Rawson but continue up to the Thompson Dam,



Drive over the dam wall and continue onto a T intersection Walhalla Road turn Left

Stay on the main road



TRIG Track on Right , do not turn into – PSA



CHERRY TREE TRACK on Left, do not turn into – PSA



CASCADE SPUR do not turn into – PSA



JUNCTION – keep to the right



PIPELINE TRACK on left. Do not turn into- PSA



DREAM CREEK TRACK on right, do not turn into – PSA



MERRINGTON TRACK – TURN RIGHT



PLEASANT TRACK on right , do not turn into- PSA



SULLIVAN TRACK off to left, do not turn into- PSA ( there is also a track leading down to the right which leads you down to MERRINGTONS camp area- DO NOT GO DOWN THIS ONE )



Continue on Merringtons track and shortly you will come to another creek crossing, crossing the creek, shortly after you come to

WILLIAMSON'S SPUR TRACK - T JUNCTION - TURN LEFT

at DONNELLY"S CREEK , you meet up with JUNCTION TRACK again -DO NOT TURN LEFT


At Creek crossing keep to the RIGHTand go up the rise
off to your RIGHT,
This is the continuation of JUNCTION TRACK

JUNCTION-

.DONNELY CREEK ROAD,TURN RIGHT.



JUNCTION- to the left is WHITE STAR TRACK, do not turn into –PSA



TRACK ON LEFT, do not turn into, this leads into Little O’Tooles,- PSA



NEXT TRACK on left- TURN LEFT..



YOU HAVE ARRIVED

You will cross over a stream / river and you will come to a JUNCTION, to the right there is WILLIAMSON”S SPUR TRACK which is the most direct but is steep down Flats Track

For the new chums , probably not at this stage


ALTERNATIVE , THE MOST SCENIC AND THE QUICKEST FOR THE MORE EXPERIENCED


WILLIAMSON”S SPUR TRACK ,. TURN RIGHT



FLATS TRACK on left, TURN LEFT



It is a steep descent in spots but you will soon see a clear area lower down, this is O’TOOLES FLAT
