					Sydney Branch

Hosted by Northern Beaches Branch of NPA and North Sydney Astronomical Society (NSAS) We in Northern Beaches are excited to announce another night to view the stars Wednesday June 17 at 6 pm at the only Dark Sky Place in Sydney. Surrounded by ocean, Governor Phillip Park, Palm Beach (see map) was designated in 2024. The night will be hosted by North Sydney Astronomical Society (NSAS). Our first night in April was amazing and like a window into another world, but some people missed out, so we are putting on this 2nd opportunity. Numbers will again need to be restricted, so please contact Pamela Dawes 0419 036 800 soon. NSAS will be able to supply the telescopes but we will need to restrict numbers to 40. Please bring jumper, snacks, drinks (non alcoholic) and a chair or picnic rug. They allow about 10 people per telescope, each viewing a different area of the sky, so there will be some waiting involved. The event will be weather dependent, of course, as we need a cloud -free night. If it is cloudy weather on the day, we will need to postpone.

This walk came from having walked to the end of two tracks at the end of fire trails, then looking at a map and seeing how close they are with a creek in between. Blue Mountain Creek is joined by following Kent Street fire trail to its end then following the spur down to the confluence of Blue Mountain Creek with the creek from Empire Pass Track. Continuing down the creek with multiple crossing, and wet feet, to the confluence with a creek from Amphitheatre Falls. Explore the canyon and unnamed falls. Exit the creek valley by a series of passes through the sandstone cliff line and up the spur to the end of Blue Mountain track. Track joins North Lawson fire trail and then walk back to Lawson via Empire Pass track. Blue Mountain Creek is lined with lush rain forest and ferns and is seldom visited. No track through this section. Creek crossings and off track sections. Wet and slippery rocks. Rock scrambling. Location: Lawson and Blue Mountains National Park Map: Katoomba 8930-1S Limit: 12.
