- Begin at the northern end of any given sector.
- Proceed walking south along the coast (or close to the coast) until a waterway is encountered. It is up to the walker to choose what constitutes a waterway (in heavy rain there are many more potential waterways).
- Photograph the waterway (ideally at its mouth to the sea).
- Walk up the waterway, recording the route followed. Swimming and boating are also permitted (although not usually adopted).
- Follow the line of least resistance. Follow the waterway itself or any nearby route that roughly follows the path of the waterway (define as convenient).
- Follow the creek until it disappears. Note this point of disappearance.
- No requirement, however, to actually reach the point of disappearance on any given walk. It is permitted to stop and turn around for whatever reason. This reason for turning around must be provided.
- Document the waterways encountered in this guidebook.
- Walks can be re-experienced and continued.
- Solo walks are permitted and encouraged, but not required.
