Thanks. Sorry question was confusing.... Haven't used ropes on myall either so was wondering if tullyangela is similar. I saw a video of a party trying to exit ettrema via tullyangela and from memory they reckoned it was impassable so scrambled out to the plateau via a break in the cliffswallwombat wrote:I've never used ropes on Myall Creek. We may have had 10m of 6mm to lower packs, etc but we didn't need them to get down the creek. Just a long day of creative scrambling.
Also the used to be a stretch of Tullyangela Creek that had Giant Stinging Trees. Keep an eye out for them. I got stung. It wasn't fun.

The first time was down Badgery's Spur to the Shoalhaven , up Sparkes Buttress, across the plateau to where we could drop down into the headwaters of Tullyangela Creek. Down Tullyangela Creek (through Dungeon Canyon ) to the junction of Ettrema Creek. Then we followed Ettrema Creek to the junction of Yalwal creek, which we followed to Yalwal and then onto Nowra.
The second time we walked down the Shoalhaven, to Canoe Flat and walked up a ridge to Dynamite Pass and onto the plateau and then continued as for the first trip.
The highlight was definitely Tullyangela Creek and Dungeon Canyon. The was some boring road walking at the end and we got a bit sick of walking on river rocks by the time we got to Yalwal.

I wouldn't give up on Drovers. I was able to follow it most of the way. Worst bit is at the eastern end. You do cross private property though.
