* Left home at 9pm, got back at 6:15am
* Saw lots of wildlife (as usual) along JC road, including the endangered Spotted Quoll
* I rode my MTB ahead of the 4WD along the Kowmung River firetrail. The trail is largely flat, with a long, steep downhill section to the river (with lots of exciting waterbars aka jumps!! :D)
* On the way out we stopped at Kanangra Walls Lookout and spotted a (potentially) lost bushwalker below Kanangra Walls. We stayed there from 0210 - 0248 and this guy was going nowhere, seemingly looking for a pass up Kanangra Walls! This is not the sort of place anybody would want to be at that time of night. The ground is extremely steep, there are no tracks where he was, it would have taken a while to get where he was, and in the 38min we were watching him (he had a verybright head torch) he made no ground!
* The walker spotted our headlamps and appeared to signal us. First he shined his torch directly at us for a period, and then it started to flash! We were pretty sure that this guy (might) be lost, so we alerted Katoomba police on our way home.
* All up, a great adventure was had
