  For over 80 years people have extolled the outstanding beauty of the Gardens of Stone, situated in Sydney’s backyard and next door to the Blue Mountains World Heritage area. So why are the Gardens of Stone’s globally significant pagodas collapsing? Why are its rare highland swamps dying? How can this precious area be protected and the local economy supported?

 From Bowral Pool we depart at 8:30am which is one hour earlier than normal departure time. We drive to Safari Kayaking located in Kangaroo Valley arriving around 9’ish where we select our kayaks/canoes and life jackets. (You have a choice of double/singles canoe/kayaks). Kangaroo Safari transport out boats to Bendeela and the car pool follows on. Once set up and in the water we head up stream for about 3km to a lunch spot and then make our way back to Bendeela where our boats are returned to Safari kayaking and we drive back to Bowral. The cost per person for boat hire is $40 cash payable on the day. Please have the right amount of cash as we need to make a single payment. Please let me know via email by Sunday 11th Feb if you are interested in coming and whether you require a rental kayak. Cossies, hat, sunscreen and plenty of drinking water will be the go... especially if this warmish weather is still around. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to give me a call. (I love making up answers). BTW, 5 bonus points for falling in.

Enjoy viewing a film that captures the beauty, fragility and poignancy of wildlife living in the forest and how the film shows with such clarity that wildlife cannot survive without their forest.
