Two separate walks to two peaks in different areas of the beautiful Guula Ngurra NP, with a minor car shuffle.

The Baldy Billy Peak walking track is an out-and-back walk to another summit with spectacular views down into the Wollondilly valley below. After an initial short but very steep descent we cross a pretty, wide valley floor and then start the slow, steady climb to the summit of Baldy Billy Peak and then return along the same route. Steep climbs & descents, uneven surfaces, indistinct track in places, unfenced cliff edges, slippery in places (walking poles recommended).
