Getting There
Wollongong to Wog Wog (~180 kms, ~3 hours)
We depart Wollongong at 5pm (or earlier if possible) and head south on the Princes Highway. Approximately 15 km south of Nowra (near Tomerong) we turn right on to Turpentine Road (a.k.a . Nowra/Braidwood road). This road, which is dirt for most of its length, is followed for approximately 60 kms to Nerriga. From Nerriga we continue on the road (now Nerriga Road) past Oallen Road and Corang Post Office Road, across the Corang River and Welcome Reef Road. At the Morgarlow turnoff (approximately 16.6 kms from Nerriga) we turn left onto Charleys Forest Road (via Kirriford Road). We continue on Charleys Forest Road for a further 5 kms (ish) until the Morton National Park Wog Wog entrance is reached.

DAY 1
We leave the car park and head down the hill to Wog Wog Creek. After crossing the creek we follow the trail uphill past the conglomerate rocks known as "Tinderry Lookout". A little further on (approximately 3km from the car park) a small wooden sign tied to a tree marks the track to Goodsell Creek. Turning left the track descends the western ridge crossing Goodsell Creek after a kilometre or so. Another kilometre further on a small cascade is crossed before reaching a large deep pool at [GR 357 578 CRKGDS].

DAY 2
Leaving the camping cave(s) we return along the track, re-crossing Canowrie Brooke heading towards the base of the conglomerate slope on the western side of the plain. After climbing the slope we will head to Corang Arch for a look before finding the track to Corang Peak. Depending on our mood we may summit the peak otherwise we will take the track to the east. In either case we will follow the track to Korra Hill and along the Corang Plateau. We will eventually come to a large conglomerate which marks the edge of the Corang Plateau and the start of the descent to Wog Wog Creek. The trail passes the intersection to Goodsell Creek that was taken yesterday and is a fairly easy run back to the car park.
