Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or longThis unique area, part of the Gardens of Stone region, has an active coal mine underneath it. Find out why it must be better protected for future generations. Park vehicles on top of the escarpment above Airly Mountain and follow the Genowlan Mountain Trail as far as GR 266 330. Climb north northeast to the tops, then explore Pagoda Heaven, a highly dissected, pagoda-studded area to the east and south. Descend underneath the cliff line in a southwesterly direction to GR 266 327. From here, climb a narrow south trending ridge. Continue to the top of the escarpment and follow it southwest all the way to Genowlan Trig. Take the fire trail from there to reconnect with the vehicles. About 10 km. Partly exploratory. Scrambling and exposure.
