11 Oct, Sat 8:00AM				Cowan station~Jerusalem Bay~Taffys Rock and return
Grade:3/6		Length	14km	500m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
One of the reasons I want to do this walk is because of the bountiful displays of wildflowers you encounter on the track at this time of the year in the height of Spring. Last time I ventured along this trail the wildflowers were breathtaking and I see no reason to believe this time it will be any different! Expect lots of stops along the way to photograph the blooms and the spectacular scenery around Jerusalem Bay and on the wonderful Taffys Rock. Location: Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park Limit: 20.

11 Oct, Sat 10:25AM				Green Square to Ozharvest
Grade:2/6		Length	8km	100m	Sydney Branch
(SWAG) Ken
(Date Changed) We meet near the Library at Green Square and walk to Waterloo Metro Station. This area has undergone amazing changes since colonisation. There are numerous story boards detailing many of these . We visit OZHarvest off Waterloo street and have the option to purchase lunch or at least coffee at their cafe. At Waterloo Metro, members have the option of finishing and heading home OR taking the Metro to Central and using the Airport line to Wolli Creek. There is a walk/cycle track from Wolli Creek to T1 Departure level at KSA. There are other coffee and eating opportunities at KSA. Some may like to spend time plane spotting before heading home either by retracing steps to Wolli Creek or catching the Airport Shuttle Bus to the Domestic Terminal and then a Metro Bus to Mascot Station. Some may choose to use the International Airport Station to return to Central and beyond. The station access fee is about $18 with a Gold Opal Card. Using Wolli Creek avoids that fee. Distance: varies depending on options chosen: 5km to about 12 Km. Grade: 2 - with minor climbs and descents. Walking is on footpaths and walk/cycle paths. Either bring food or purchase. Do carry water and avoid dehydration. Don't drink too much water however. I have a personal story on dehydration which I will relate if walkers are interested. cyclists on shared paths, road crossings and trip hazards. Limit: 10. View

A repeat of last year's walk which was just awesome; one of the very best in Kosciuszko area.  Email for an information pack about the walk. A six-night full pack walk involving Daveys Hut, Kidmans Hut, and Mawsons Hut. Exact details will be determined by weather and other factors. We camp near these huts but not in them so everyone must be fully equipped for the variety of conditions in the area which can be very variable. We stay at ski lodge in Jindabyne for a night on either side of the walk with our regular BBQ overlooking the lake. We need some suitable cars in order to access the start of the walk. Always a pleasure walking in Kosciuszko area and this walk has everything: magnificent scenery; lovely bush; great campsites; and some challenging walking.  Not to be missed!
