A few days later, we're descending Bob Turners Track into one of the world's largest gorges, where few people visit. What a privilege to be here. The walk is pleasant and soon enough we meet the river. We blow up the Alpacka rafts and take them for a 'test spin' by paddling upstream towards King Rapid, which is the river's toughest.

Bob Turners Track is an easy day walk, and from Mountain Lagoon to Colo Meroo is a good overnight walk. The T3 Track from Mountain Lagoon to the Colo is a bit more challenging, as is Canoe Creek, although experienced walkers will find both relatively easy day trips. Further upstream the walks are more challenging.

The Bob Turners Track offers relatively easy access down to a pristine stretch of the Colo River. The large sandy beach is backed by tall eucalypt covered mountains which give it a remote Robinson Crusoe vibe. We're sharing what to expect from the trail and what it's like to swim in the river.

Description: This trip starts with an hour long track walk to the river with a back pack. The track starts out and finishes with a series of steps but the rest of the time it has a gradual decline (with the occassional incline) to the river. Add extra time if you are carrying a boat. A hard shell boat would be difficult.

From Colo Heights we went down the excellent Bob Turners Track to the Colo River crossing, where we disgraced ourselves to varying degrees with some rather inelegant crossing techniques. Then it was on through the bush.

A leisurely walk down the Bob Turners track (~1hr) took us to the bank of Colo where we setup our rafts. No sooner had we got in our rafts to test them out did we hear voices from the bank on the other side. A group of campers had been stranded on the opposite bank of the river after it had risen overnight. As helpful SUBWers, we ferried a few.

Bob Turners Track has always been the easiest way to get into the remote parts of the Colo River. It's well graded and the National Parks have done work on the track. But beware there still is a fair bit of climbing to do and you definitely need to carry water for the climb out.
