(NEW!!!) For those who wish to take their time, dawdle, look closely at nature and, perhaps, even learn a little along the way! We begin along a fire trail that is relatively flat before heading downhill into different terrain and vegetation. The return is a repeat but this time, look at the other side of the track!

Grade:3/6		Length	10km	550m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
This is one of my very favourite walks in the Blue Mountains as its comprises so many wonderful aspects in a single trip. First there is the series of spectacular waterfalls as we descend Victoria creek down to the Grose River at Burra Korain flat. Then there is the abundance of wildflowers at this time of the year all along the route including a huge amount of waratahs as we ascend the ridge up to Pierces Pass. Add to this some wonderful swimming holes along the Grose river along the way. All in all a walk not to be missed. Location: Blue Mountains National Park Map: mt.wilson Limit: 20. View
