Down the Slott Way to the Nattai River returning via Starlights Track - June 2025

One of my favourites, the Nattai River. The last time I was in this area was in 2020, immediately after the extensive bush fires in the region. 
Here is my post from that time: https://oldbushrunner.blogspot.com/2020/07/wattle-ridge-troys-creek-starlights.html
The vegetation at that time was devastated, quiet eirie to witness. This time the under story had regrown and almost overgrown the tracks.
