    Morong creek with its series of spectacular falls and cascades is one of the gems of the Kanangra Boyd national park and on this walk we will follow its downward path as its plummets down to the picturesque Kowmung River. On the way we will savour its beauty, go for a swim and do the same when we reach the river at the bottom. This is really wild country and with its pink and grey granite boulders, the Morong creek is truly an amazing place for those with an adventurous spirit. For participating hikers, I'd advise to stay in Oberon the night before as the drive to the start of the walk is much shorter. rock scrambling and offtrack Location: Kanangra-Boyd NP Map: Shooters Hill 88302S Limit: 12.

    The Bob Turners track is probably the easiest route down to the mighty Colo River and where it meets this superb watercourse is an enormous pool which is perfect for a swim on a hot Summers day. But wait theres more! Bring along you're flotation device such as a surfmat or donut and we will float down the river, shoot the odd cascade before we return and eventually climb back up the way we came. A wonderful way to spend an Australia Day weekend. rock hopping Location: Wollemi NP Map: Colo Heights 90313N Limit: 12.
