| 6 Dec, Sat 8:00AM | The flying carpet and clifflines of Carne creek | ||||
| Grade:5/6 | Length | 7km | 200m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
| Projecting itself out from the cliff into the void above Carne creek caves is the aptly named Flying Carpet! This narrowish slab of rock affords the cautious walker outstanding views of the surrounding clifflines all around and far down into Carne creek. We will also visit the wonderful Koan cave too as we progress along the towering escarpment. A walk for those with an adventurous spirit! rock scrambling and offtrack walking Location: Gardens of Stone NP Map: cullen bullen Limit: 12. View |

| 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 offtrackLocation: Kanangra-Boyd NP Map: Shooters Hill 88302S Limit: 12.

| 10 Jan, Sat 7:30AM | Wollangambe 3 canyon | ||||
| Grade:5/6 | Length | 12km | 300m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
 Many people have done Wollangambe 1 and 2 canyon sections, but have you ventured further down this magnificent watercourse because there are some superb sections of canyon to experience for the adventurous walker/canyoner. Included is a tunnel section, oodles of long and spectacular pools, cascades and rock formations and a strong possibility you'll have the whole place to yourself. Helmets, wetsuits, surfmats or lilos/donuts are essential and a PFD too if you aren't a good swimmer. Needless to say a canyon pack or drybag are also important to bring along as is a sense of adventure and fun. rock scrambling and rapidsLocation: Wollemi NP Map: Wollangambe 89312S Limit: 12. View |

| 7 Feb, Sat 8:00AM | Rocky creek canyon | ||||
| Grade:5/6 | Length | 6km | 250m | Sydney Branch | |
| Mark G. | |||||
| Rocky creek canyon is the classic canyon and is regarded as an entry level wet canyon as it does not have any abseils but does have several short swims with the longest being about 30 metres. The scenery in this canyon is unparalleled as its sculptured walls are regarded as the best you'll find anywhere. On this trip I plan to do the full length and climb up the exit track which means we won't have to double back and climb up the cascades. Participants should have the following gear, helmet, wetsuit, drybag, PFD if you are not a proficient swimmer. I have rated this a 5 because there are some tricky scrambles down cascades to negotiate and a rocky climb out at the end. rock scrambling and slippery conditions Location: Wollemi NP Map: Rock Hill 89312N Limit: 12.
