Grade:5/6 Length 8km  ↑300m Sydney Branch

Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or longPhotography | A trip that has a strong focus on encouraging people to capture photographs.(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Set against a great sheer cliff, a flat platform of rock seems to float out above the expansive Carne Creek Valley. This is the “Flying Carpet” and we will take a ride on it for magnificent views across the valley. Make sure you hold on! Time permitting, we will also have a look at some of the big caves and overhangs under the cliffs.  Group numbers are limited due to the short but tricky climb up onto the “Flying Carpet”, and I’m rating it a 5 simply due to this section. You’ll need to be comfortable using a long tape (provided). The rest of the walk is about a grade 4 being almost all off-track walk through gullies with open forest, big cliffs and at least one big cave. Hazards: Steep rock scrambling with tape and off-track walking.
Location: Gardens of Stone NP
Map: Cullen Bullen 89313N Limit:10.
