31 Jan, Sat 8:30AM				Kiama to Gerringong
Grade:2/6		Length	15km	200m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
This is one of NSW most loved coastal walks and rightly so as you pass so many beautiful features along the way including several beaches which will be welcome as swimming stops as we hike south to the loverly beach town of Gerringong.

7 Feb, Sat 8:00AM				Rocky creek canyon
Grade:5/6		Length	6km	250m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Rocky creek canyon is the classic canyon and is regarded as an entry level wet canyon as it does not have any abseils but does have several short swims with the longest being about 30 metres. The scenery in this canyon is unparalleled as its sculptured walls are regarded as the best you'll find anywhere. On this trip I plan to do the full length and climb up the exit track which means we won't have to double back and climb up the cascades. Participants should have the following gear, helmet, wetsuit, drybag, PFD if you are not a proficient swimmer. I have rated this a 5 because there are some tricky scrambles down cascades to negotiate and a rocky climb out at the end. rock scrambling and slippery conditions Location: Wollemi NP Map: Rock Hill 89312N Limit: 12.

Grade:4/6		Length	6km	150m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
Corkscrew canyon is in the upper section of South Bowen creek drainage system and is a relatively easyish canyon to do as it does not involved any abseils or long swims but rewards the curious hiker with stunning constricted passages, sculptured clifflines, gorgeous cascades and pools and the chance to see an area not all that often visited.

If its going to be a hot day we may not go all the way down to the Kowmung river but swim in the many pools created by the creek.

(NEW!!!) Mermaids pool and Tahmoor gorge is a delightful circuit walk that takes you past numerous cascades and swimming holes where you can escape the heat of late Summer. On the last two occasions I did this walk it rained so we couldn't complete the entire walk through the most spectacular part of the gorge. Lets hope this time we have good weather! rock hopping Location: Mermaids Pool and Tahmoor Gorge Map: BARGO 9029-3-N Limit: 20. View
