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 rapids Location: Wollemi NP Map: Wollangambe 89312S Limit: 12. View

17 Jan, Sat 8:00AM			Pisgah rock to Erskine creek and return
Grade:3/6	Length	4km	200m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
When the heat of Summer is on theres no better place to go than the cooling and spectacular Erskine creek with its superb giant pools and refreshing cascades to relax in and chill out. So bring along you're surfmats, donuts, good food and drink and we will ride the odd rapid, swim in the wonderful swimming pools and just take it all in and savour our surroundings for many hours.Entry and exit via Pisgah rock. rock hopping Location: Blue Mountains National Park Map: Springwood Limit: 20.

24 Jan, Sat 7:30AM			Hobnail Canyon
Grade:4/6	Length	7km	150m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Hobnail Canyon is situated on Range creek and offers the enthusiastic canyoner a wonderful and spectacular exploration along a beautiful watercourse which doesn't include any abseils although there are a few short tape sections to negotiate into and out of the canyon, especially at the exit track on South Bowen creek. Anyone attending needs to bring a helmet/wetsuit/drybag and PFD if you are not a proficient swimmer but you don't need a surfmat or donut as the swims are very short. This is a canyon well away from the insta crowd and one definitely worth doing. rock scrambling and offtrack Location: Wollemi NP Map: Mount Wilson 8930-1N Limit: 12. View

25 Jan, Sun 8:00AM			Bob Turners track to the Colo River and return
Grade:3/6	Length	7km	250m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
The Bob Turners track is probably the easiest route down to the mighty Colo River and where it meets this superb watercourse is an enormous pool which is perfect for a swim on a hot Summers day. But wait theres more! Bring along you're flotation device such as a surfmat or donut and we will float down the river, shoot the odd cascade before we return and eventually climb back up the way we came. A wonderful way to spend an Australia Day weekend. rock hopping Location: Wollemi NP Map: Colo Heights 90313N Limit: 12. View

31 Jan, Sat 8:30AM			Kiama to Gerringong
Grade:2/6	Length	15km	200m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
This is one of NSW most loved coastal walks and rightly so as you pass so many beautiful features along the way including several beaches which will be welcome as swimming stops as we hike south to the loverly beach town of Gerringong. I'm hoping for a warm Summers day so we can refresh ourselves with a dip or three. Location: Kiama Coast Walk Limit: 20. 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.

14 Feb, Sat 8:00AM			Corkscreww Canyon~Upper Bowen creek south side
Grade:4/6	Length	6km	150m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
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 offtrack Location: Wollemi NP Map: Mt Wilson Limit: 12. View

3-11 Mar, Tue (16:00PM)-Wed (08:00AM)			Kosciuszko Pack Walk
Grade:4/6	Length	50km	1,300m	Sydney Branch
Richard T.
A repeat for those who missed the walk last year (like me!). The Pretty Plain area is a lovely part of Kosciuszko National Park. Great scenery, lovely bushland, and two of the best of the huts to camp nearby. Even better, we spend multiple days near each hut (two nights at Pretty Plain and three nights at Wheelers). Access is via Dargals Trail to Pretty Plain (a new way thanks the exploration of the last year's group). We return along Pretty Plain, Hell Hole Track and take the shortcut across to Wheelers Hut. Return from Wheelers Hut is again via Dargals Trail. At the start and end of walk we stay at a Ski Lodge at Jindabyne with the usual BBQs on the deck overlooking the lake. A lovely walk with relaxing time near the huts. Location: Kosciuszko NP Limit: 12. View

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.
