I have often wondered about the "Prince Regents Glen" marked on the Jamison topo.I am actually not even sure which area "Prince Regents Glen" is meant to be - the name appears in different spots on different topo editions, in some cases even appearing twice. From reading historical references I get the impression it may once have meant something like "all the parts of the Jamison Valley you can see from the top of Wentworth Falls".
Anyway I couldn't find any description online or in any of my BM walking books so today I figured I would just descend to Hippocrene Falls via Slacks Stairs and check out what Jamison Creek was like between the Don Fenella junction and the firetrail.
It was pretty easy going, especially once I made the decision very early on not to try and keep dry shoes. The banks were mostly rainforest although sclerophyll forest sections become more prevalent closer to the firetrail. At no stage was I tempted to get out the handline, although I did occasionally climb out of the creek over some ridges to avoid larger drops or boulders. Despite not finding any references online the area must get a bit of traffic because I kept seeing distinct footpads and occasional camp clearings with fire rings and log benches. There were a few nice looking swimming holes. It took me about 2.5 hrs at a leisurely pace, and including a lunch break, to get from Hippocrene Falls to the firetrail. I saw 1 water dragon, 1 leech, no snakes, no fish, no yabbies.
When I hit the firetrail, I headed East to Kedumba Valley Road, which I followed down hill for a few minutes before climbing up the ridge to take the upper half of the goat track.
This might make a good summer trip, especially if you could do a car shuffle to avoid some road bash, and exited via Sublime Point Ridge / Copeland Pass.
