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.

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.
