Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or long(Updated Details) Starting from Buxton Ave on the edge of Nattai NP, we follow a short distance on fire trails to the Blue Gum Lookout for morning tea. We will then back track a little and pick up a newly marked track and make our way down to a creek gully. We will follow this creek bed down to the Blue Gum Forest and onto the W41 Fire Road in Thirlmere Lakes NP. We follow this road a short distance then head off track up 160m to rejoin our morning tea spot and follow the fire trails back to our cars. NOTES: New walk. A little more challenging than last year's route but no car shuffle and some magnificent sandstone cliffs. Hazards: Uneven and possibly slippery track in places. Off track section. Rock hopping and a couple of grade 4 steps.
Location: Nattai NP & Thirlmere Lakes NP
