 (Fully Booked) More magic in December with my 10th annual Koscie walk. This year a really great walk, perhaps my favourite, south from Thredbo. Some fantastic highlights, The Pilot, Tin Mines, Cowombat Flat, the actual start of the Murray River. Return by similar route to Thredbo. A lovely walk to do with the usual great scenery and the usual great Koscie bushland and flowers.

The Great North walk is a mammoth multi-day hike and at 250 km, it’s not for the faint-hearted. Created in 1988 to celebrate Australia’s bicentenary, the walk links Sydney with the Hunter Valley and Newcastle. It is a one-stop-shop for some of the best scenery New South Wales has to offer. To make it more convenient, we will walk in sections. Public transport is available for the first few sections. Subsequent sections will mostly require car transport. A Certificate of Completion will be awarded to walkers who attend all sections. Today we walk Section 1 : Macquarie Place to North Ryde. The first segment starts from Macquarie Place, corner of Bridge and Loftus Street. The enjoyable walk takes into history, seaview, grand houses, gardens, and churches. Kookaburras, lorikeets, boats, orchids, grand trees and plants were seen along the way. This walk involves a ferry ride. The second segment is a lovely bush track along the Lane Cove River. Cormarants, herons, brush turkey, lorikeets and other birds are expected to be seen. Wildflowers abound. Salt Marsh, sandstone caves, trees and plants are all very lovely. Slippery sections.

Strangers Ck has numerous water holes and rainforest species including magnificent Treeferns, Coachwood and Lillypilly trees. Be sure to
