On the 9th of January Me, Renny, Mum and Dad walked up to Cedar Flat Hut. At the start of the tramp we had to walk through a farm for 20 minutes to get to the main track. We had walk for one hour to get to the river bed section some the track was boardwalk to get to the river section. There was a small slip we had to climb down to get to the river bed. Walking along the river bed we had to climb over rocks and boulders, some were slippery so we had to be careful. We filled our drink bottles up with fresh water from the river, it was cold and refreshing. Before we had lunch we had to cross a big side creek that had raging water going down into the river. Dad had to help get us across, we took off our packs and he carried us through the creek. Dad and Mum both went across and got wet boots. It was a bit scary because the water was flowing fast and sounded loud.
We walked back up into the bush and had another 2 hours walking uphill to get to the Hut. To get to the Hut we had to cross a little swing bridge, I tested its strength by jumping up and down on it! Finaly we got to hut after 5 hours of tramping we were all tired and glad to get there. After putting our sleeping bags on our bunks we went to the hot springs that come out of the hill by the creek. They were really hot and smelt of sulpur. We all could sit in the pool and rest our legs but there were lots of sandflies.
The next day we walked back to the car, I was very tired at the end but proud of doing the tramp. My favourite part of the trip was when Dad walked into a muddy bog and it went up to his shins. We all laughed.
