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) Rock Island is a stunning and almost treeless ridge above Deanes Creek. Surrounded by deep and beautifully lush ravines, to reach the island we will pass through the beautiful “Valley that Time Forgot”. Also, grand sandstone overhangs, awesomely large trees, and a few more surprises.  A grade 4 to grade 5 walk. A few moderate climbs, and a total elevation gain of 400m. At 12 km it’s a moderately long walk. Mostly off track but not overly technical. There are short sections of thick scrub at the start and end. Time for photos and side explorations is required, so this will be a long day with an early start.  The walk spans a corner of each of the Ben Bullen, Cullen Bullen, Rock Hill and Mount Morgan topogoraphic maps.  Hazards: Some short sections of thick scrub on steep slopes.
Location: Wollemi NP
Map: Mount Morgan 89311S, Ben Bullen 89314S, Rock Hill 89312N, and Cullen Bullen 89313N Limit:12.
