  (NEW!!!) We start off 2026 with some fairly shady walks. Today we will walk through tall trees of smooth apple gums & red blood woods to the picnic & swimming ground of Bobbin Head. Then we wind through the thick mangroves of the Warimoo track to take us to the Sphinx & pyramids. Here we have the options of finishing at the Sphinx, or walk back to Mt Colah via the Chase trail.

| 14 Feb, Sat 8:00AM | Corkscrew Canyon~Upper Bowen creek south side | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 6km | 150m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
   (Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) 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 offtrackLocation: Wollemi NP Map: Mt Wilson Limit: 12. View |

| 19 Feb, Thu 8:01AM | Chatswood to Eastwood | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 22km | 395m | Sydney Branch | |
| Geoffrey.L | |||||
| (Date Changed) We will walk mostly in the bush, shades of tall trees & along creeks & river from Chatswood station to Eastwood station via Fullers bridge. It is a part of the Great North walk from Fullers bridge to Browns Waterhole. Quite a long & challenging walk. Hopefully it will help us to lose kilos from the Xmas festivities.

| 21 Feb, Sat 8:00AM | Morong creek falls~Morong creek~Kowmung river and return | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 10km | 450m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
 Morong creek with its series of spectacular cascades and falls is one of the gems of the Kanangra Boyd National Park and on this walk we will follow its downward path as it plummets down to the Kowmung river. If its going to be a hot day we may not go all the way down to the Kowmung river but swim in the many pools created by the creek. As this is a reasonable drive from Sydney, participating hikers may prefer to stay in Oberon the night before. rock scramblingLocation: kanangra boyd national park Map: Shooters Hill 88302S Limit: 12.

| 28 Feb, Sat 8:00AM | Dargans Canyon | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 4km | 100m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
| (Updated Details) If you are relatively new to canyoning and you want a really fun one to do which doesn't involve abseiling then Dargans Canyon is hard to beat! There are a few shortish swims and some scrambling down short sections of tape which are fairly easy and then there's the exit! This involves a scramble up a tree with spikes which sounds difficult but really isn't! Of course I'll set up a safety line before we climb the tree. Participants will need a wetsuit, helmet, waterproofed pack and if not a competent swimmer, a PFD. rock scrambling and slippery conditions Location: Wollemi NP Map: Lithgow 89313S and Wollangambe 89312S Limit: 12.

| 3-11 Mar, Tue (16:00PM)-Wed (08:00AM) | Kosciuszko Pack Walk | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 50km | 2,200m | Sydney Branch | |
| Richard T. | |||||
| (Fully Booked) 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!

| 7 Mar, Sat - 10 Mar, Mon | Frenchmans Cap track Tasmania | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 48km | 1,200m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
| (Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) The Frenchmans Cap track in Tasmania's central plateau is an outstanding walk to one of the states tallest peaks, and allows the adventurous hiker to experience a landscape of outstanding beauty whilst being able to stay in comfortable huts along the way. This will be my 5th visit to the area and I'm as excited to revisit as I was on my first trip there back in the early 1980s, as unlike the Overland Track which is full of people, you'll often have the track to yourself. possible snow and rain with a steep track in parts Location: franklin -gordon wild rivers national park Limit: 18.

| 12-14 Mar, Thu (07:30AM)-Sat (13:00PM) | Mt Ossa, Mt Pelion East, Mt Oakleigh and Mt Pillinger | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 44km | 1,500m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
| (Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Via the Arm river we will hike into Pelion hut where we will base ourselves over the next 2 nights. From this comfortable base will endeavour to climb Tasmania's highest peak, Mt Ossa along with two other spectacular summits, Mt Oakleigh and Mt Pelion East. possible snow and rain with rock scrambling Location: Cradle Mountain NP Limit: 18.

| 29 Mar, Sun 8:00AM | Explorergaine | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Sydney Branch | ||||
| Ted W. | |||||
 (NEW!!!) The Explorergaine is a 6-hour rogaine being held on Sunday 29 March at Mt Victoria on the western edge of the Blue Mountains, mostly on bush tracks. The event has a strong historical theme and is also a fundraiser for the Australian Himalayan Foundation.
The course explores the first routes off the mountains dating back to 1813. There are outstanding views over the Megalong Valley, Hartley and across to the Great Divide. Expect a surprisingly complex choice of bush tracks both close to the Hash House and for the fit and strong down to Hartley Vale. This event has something for everyone.
Whether you’re a seasoned rogainer or a newcomer looking to explore a new area this is an event not to be missed. Teams of 2 to 5 members.

| 4 Apr, Sat 8:00AM | Tramway trail~The Towers~Blacks Corner and return | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 15km | 300m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
| A walk with history and lots of pagodas and stunning views! We start our hike along the Tramway trail, passing various old miners dwellings now being overtaken by nature and head west until the trail ends and we then follow the ridge along to Blacks Corner. Sounds deceptively simple but along the way we will encounter more pagodas and slots than you can imagine as well as some almost parkland sections of grassy lomandra until we reach our objective, Blacks Corner. A walk for those who want to leave the Easter crowds behind and explore a location rarely visited. rock scrambling and offtrack walking Location: Mugii Murum-ban SCA Map: Glen Alice 89314N Limit: 12.

| 5 Apr, Sun 8:00AM | Wheeny Gap and waterfalls | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Length | 5km | 380m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
 What this walk lacks in distance it more than makes up for in terms of variety and pure enjoyment as there is much to see and savour in this not often visited part of Wollemi national park. Along the way you'll encounter some of the best and largest swimming holes you could hope to find, gorgeous waterfalls and cascades and stands of towering trees in a rainforest environment. Add to these features, some extraordinary tafoni enriched sandstone caves, rock wells to play in and a hellva lot more. All in all, an adventurers playground par excellence! rock scrambling and offtrack walkingLocation: Wollemi NP Map: Mountain Lagoon 90313S Limit: 12. View |
