Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or longPublic Transport | There are public transport options to and from this activity.(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) This walk came from having walked to the end of two tracks at the end of fire trails, then looking at a map and seeing how close they are with a creek in between. Blue Mountain Creek is joined by following Kent Street Fire trail to its end, then following the spur down to the confluence of Blue Mountain Creek with the creek from Empire Pass Track. Continuing down the creek with multiple crossings and wet feet to the confluence with a creek from Amphitheatre Falls. Explore the canyon and unnamed falls. Exit the creek valley by a series of passes through the sandstone cliff line and up the spur to the end of Blue Mountain Track. Track joins North Lawson Fire trail and then heads back to Lawson. Blue Mountain Creek is lined with lush rainforest and ferns and is seldom visited. No track through this section. Hazards: Creek crossings and off-track sections. Wet and slippery rocks. Exposed rock faces.
Location: Blue Mountains National Park
