Hi folks. This is another response to dee_legg's post on the "Lees Paddocks Track Bridge Down" topic.
dee_legg may have been describing the Moses Creek Track. This starts with a bridge over Jackson's Creek then a rock hop over an un-named tributary before a solid climb to the ridge overlooking Chapter Lake and Grail Falls.
By taking off at Grail Falls, this track can be used to access the plateau around Chalice Lake as described in The Abels for access to Twin Spires, the highest point and northern extension of Cathedral Mountain. If you stick with the track as it follows Moses Creek upstream beyond Cloister Lagoon, it will bring you to Mayfield Flat at Junction Lake.
I should point out that the Moses Creek Track is quite tricky to locate at the Junction Lake end.
Here's the Jackson Creek Track bit... (and Parks may not like this bit so delete it if you must...)
When you reach the walker registration booth on the Moses Creek Track, there is a sign pointing to Chapter Lake. Closer inspection will reveal that the sign also used to indicate a track heading east up the valley of Jackson Creek. Parks (I reckon) have removed the sign and the first few markers but if you head in the direction of the missing sign, you will soon pick up triangle reflectors and a very well constructed track, complete with steps in places, up the steep southern side of the Jackson Creek valley.
This track eventually leaves Jackson Creek, descends briefly, climbs a steep section and then almost peters out as it approaches Lake Myrtle. Even if you lose the track, it is easy to find your way to the shore of Lake Myrtle where you follow the shore to the north and join the Lake Bill track from Juno Creek.
I can understand Parks removing evidence of this track as they have a severely limited budget and have enough trouble maintaining the well known ones. However, I like the Jackson Creek Track as it is shorter than the Lake Bill Track and has a more gradual altitude gain. If you are experienced at following vague or vanishing tracks, I would recommend this as a speedy way into Lake Meston and Juntion Lake.
Finally, I should point out the wonderful circuit I discovered by following Moses Creek upstream to Chapter Lake. You can read about it on my blog at http://www.blognow.com.au/tastrekker/38622/Moses_Creek_Waterfalls.html
