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. Location: Wollemi NP Map: Mountain Lagoon 90313S Limit: 12. View

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.

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

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
