Scrubby Creek now has a causeway so no need to go through the deep water there.

Next up was Elliot Falls where i stopped for a swim, i think i worried one girl who saw me enter the waterfall at the top but didn't see me climb down the ramp inside the falls and exit at the bottom.
She was still looking when i walked back up along the top after swimming 60 metres or so downstream to get out of the ravine.

After checking out a Pitcher Plant beside my car I headed off and stopped beside one of the old Telegraph Poles.

I crossed Mistake, Sam and Cannibal Creeks before getting out to check my line on Cypress Creek Bridge.

I caught up to a few cars and followed them through the deep Logan Crossing then they let me past and I was out on my own again.

Next up was Nolans Brook, because i keep losing steering in the water i picked a line i could go straight ahead, apparently the waiting crowd had seen every car that took my line sink so they were a bit dissapointed when i made it through, not to worry, the group behind me kept them entertained.
