Grade:5/6		Length	7km	200m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Projecting itself out from the cliff into the void above Carne creek caves is the aptly named Flying Carpet! This narrowish slab of rock affords the cautious walker outstanding views of the surrounding clifflines all around and far down into Carne creek. We will also visit the wonderful Koan cave too as we progress along the towering escarpment. A walk for those with an adventurous spirit! rock scrambling and offtrack walking Location: Gardens of Stone NP Map: cullen bullen Limit: 12. View

13 Dec, Sat 8:00AM				Morong creek Falls ¬Morong creek¬Kowmung river and return
Grade:5/6		Length	10km	450m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Morong creek with its series of spectacular falls and cascades is one of the gems of the Kanangra Boyd national park and on this walk we will follow its downward path as its plummets down to the picturesque Kowmung River. On the way we will savour its beauty, go for a swim and do the same when we reach the river at the bottom. This is really wild country and with its pink and grey granite boulders, the Morong creek is truly an amazing place for those with an adventurous spirit. For participating hikers, I'd advise to stay in Oberon the night before as the drive to the start of the walk is much shorter. rock scrambling and offtrack Location: Kanangra-Boyd NP Map: Shooters Hill 88302S Limit: 12.

Grade:4/6		Length	31km	800m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) When the heat of Summer is upon us, where do we go to escape the heat? The Colo River Gorge of course! On this particular walk we will experience the outstanding beauty of what is essentially the lifeline and heart of the Wollemi wilderness, the stunning Colo River and in particular the section between Tootie Creek and Meroo campsite. Expect long sandbanks, clear, tranquil pools, the exquisite Tootie cascades and lots of peace and quiet with only birdsong and the rivers gentle sounds to keep you company, as well as you're hiking friends of course. I plan to take a flotation device and float along past the scrubby bits and suggest everyone does the same offtrack walking along the Colo river with scrambling at times.

3 Jan, Sat 8:00AM				Gerringong creek waterfalls
Grade:4/6		Length	6km	150m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Below the infamous Gerringong Falls, the creek of the same name has more surprises in store as a series of waterfalls and cascades are worth exploring to the enquiring and adventurous hiker. On this walk I'll visit these alluring waterdrops (!)and of course have the odd swim or three along the way. Be prepared for virgin rainforest walking and to be impressed by an area not often visited by the average bushwalker! rock hopping and offtrack Location: Budderoo National Park Map: Kangaroo Valley 9028-4-S Limit: 12. View

10 Jan, Sat 7:30AM				Wollangambe 3 canyon
Grade:5/6		Length	12km	300m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Many people have done Wollangambe 1 and 2 canyon sections, but have you ventured further down this magnificent watercourse because there are some superb sections of canyon to experience for the adventurous walker/canyoner. Included is a tunnel section, oodles of long and spectacular pools, cascades and rock formations and a strong possibility you'll have the whole place to yourself. Helmets, wetsuits, surfmats or lilos/donuts are essential and a PFD too if you aren't a good swimmer. Needless to say a canyon pack or drybag are also important to bring along as is a sense of adventure and fun. rock scrambling and rapids Location: Wollemi NP Map: Wollangambe 89312S Limit: 12. View

17 Jan, Sat 8:00AM				Pisgah rock to Erskine creek and return
Grade:3/6		Length	4km	200m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
When the heat of Summer is on theres no better place to go than the cooling and spectacular Erskine creek with its superb giant pools and refreshing cascades to relax in and chill out. So bring along you're surfmats, donuts, good food and drink and we will ride the odd rapid, swim in the wonderful swimming pools and just take it all in and savour our surroundings for many hours.Entry and exit via Pisgah rock. rock hopping Location: Blue Mountains National Park Map: Springwood Limit: 20. View

24 Jan, Sat 7:30AM				Hobnail Canyon
Grade:4/6		Length	7km	150m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Hobnail Canyon is situated on Range creek and offers the enthusiastic canyoner a wonderful and spectacular exploration along a beautiful watercourse which doesn't include any abseils although there are a few short tape sections to negotiate into and out of the canyon, especially at the exit track on South Bowen creek. Anyone attending needs to bring a helmet/wetsuit/drybag and PFD if you are not a proficient swimmer but you don't need a surfmat or donut as the swims are very short. This is a canyon well away from the insta crowd and one definitely worth doing. rock scrambling and offtrack Location: Wollemi NP Map: Mount Wilson 8930-1N Limit: 12. View

25 Jan, Sun 8:00AM				Bob Turners track to the Colo River and return
Grade:3/6		Length	7km	250m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
The Bob Turners track is probably the easiest route down to the mighty Colo River and where it meets this superb watercourse is an enormous pool which is perfect for a swim on a hot Summers day. But wait theres more! Bring along you're flotation device such as a surfmat or donut and we will float down the river, shoot the odd cascade before we return and eventually climb back up the way we came. A wonderful way to spend an Australia Day weekend. rock hopping Location: Wollemi NP Map: Colo Heights 90313N Limit: 12. View

31 Jan, Sat 8:30AM				Kiama to Gerringong
Grade:2/6		Length	15km	200m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
This is one of NSW most loved coastal walks and rightly so as you pass so many beautiful features along the way including several beaches which will be welcome as swimming stops as we hike south to the loverly beach town of Gerringong. I'm hoping for a warm Summers day so we can refresh ourselves with a dip or three. Location: Kiama Coast Walk Limit: 20. View

7 Feb, Sat 8:00AM				Rocky creek canyon
Grade:5/6		Length	6km	250m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Rocky creek canyon is the classic canyon and is regarded as an entry level wet canyon as it does not have any abseils but does have several short swims with the longest being about 30 metres. The scenery in this canyon is unparalleled as its sculptured walls are regarded as the best you'll find anywhere. On this trip I plan to do the full length and climb up the exit track which means we won't have to double back and climb up the cascades. Participants should have the following gear, helmet, wetsuit, drybag, PFD if you are not a proficient swimmer. I have rated this a 5 because there are some tricky scrambles down cascades to negotiate and a rocky climb out at the end. rock scrambling and slippery conditions Location: Wollemi NP Map: Rock Hill 89312N Limit: 12. View

14 Feb, Sat 8:00AM				Corkscreww Canyon~Upper Bowen creek south side
Grade:4/6		Length	6km	150m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Corkscrew canyon is in the upper section of South Bowen creek drainage system and is a relatively easyish canyon to do as it does not involved any abseils or long swims but rewards the curious hiker with stunning constricted passages, sculptured clifflines, gorgeous cascades and pools and the chance to see an area not all that often visited. Helmet, wetsuit, drybag and a PFD required for those who aren't competent swimmers. rock scrambling and offtrack Location: Wollemi NP Map: Mt Wilson Limit: 12. View

3-11 Mar, Tue (16:00PM)-Wed (08:00AM)				Kosciuszko Pack Walk
Grade:4/6		Length	50km	2,200m	Sydney Branch
Richard T.
(Updated Details) A repeat of last year's walk which was just awesome; one of the very best in Kosciuszko area. Email for an information pack about the walk. A six-night full pack walk involving Daveys Hut, Kidmans Hut, and Mawsons Hut. Exact details will be determined by weather and other factors. We camp near these huts but not in them so everyone must be fully equipped for the variety of conditions in the area which can be very variable. We stay at ski lodge in Jindabyne for a night on either side of the walk with our regular BBQ overlooking the lake. We need some suitable cars in order to access the start of the walk. Always a pleasure walking in Kosciuszko area and this walk has everything: magnificent scenery; lovely bush; great campsites; and some challenging walking. Not to be missed! Location: Kosciuszko NP Limit: 12. View
