| 27 Jul, Sat 10:00AM | Hidden Gem and Coal Waste in Royal NP | ||||
| Grade:4/6 | Southern Sydney Branch | ||||
| 14608 | |||||
  Hosted by Sutherland Shire Environment Centre.
Walks will be in the RNP near the headwaters of the Hacking River which drains off the Illawarra escarpment.
The infamous Peabody Metropolitan Colliery is located further up Camp Gully Creek. The mine has illegally discharged coal waste material into these waterways on numerous occasions in recent years. If you’re curious about the ongoing impacts on the ecosystem downstream, this is a good opportunity to see the evidence for yourself.
Registration essential. Creek crossings. Wet feet.Location: Royal NP View |

| 27 Jul, Sat 8:30AM | Jibbon Loop and Fishermen’s Cave | ||||
| Grade:3/6 | Length | 9km | Southern Sydney Branch | ||
| Vera | |||||
 (NEW!!!) We'll start from Cronulla Wharf to catch the 8.30 ferry to Bundeena. We'll be walking along the coast and drop by Aboriginal Rock Carvings at Jibbon Head and continue to walk along the coast to The Balconies. We'll do a little detour and walk along the narrow footpath to the cave (caves) that might be used during the Great Depression or as some people suggest, a cave for the fishermen. If the majority would like to stay longer for whale watching at the Balconies, we can do that as well. And we'll walk back to Bundeena wharf to catch the ferry back to Cronulla. Some rock hopping, slippery and mossy parts, some loose rock, uneven path and muddy parts and unclear overgrown parts. There might be a little exposure to the cave.Location: RNP Limit: 8. View |
