15 Jan, Sat 8:30AM				Hat Hill Canyon
Fully inside Blue Mountains City Council
Grade:4/6		Length	8km	250m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
ALL INTENDING WALKERS MUST BE DOUBLE VACCINATED. Hat Hill Canyon is a spectacular canyon in the upper Blue Mountains which doesn't require abseiling. There are a few short swims so a wetsuit is required as the water is usually cold. A helmet is also a good idea and if you don't have one I have plenty I can lend out. This trip was cancelled previously due to the fires then floods in 2019/20 so I'm hoping, third time is lucky. A few short compulsory swims with rock scrambling and hopping along the creek.

29 Jan, Sat 8:00AM				Rocky Creek Canyon
Fully inside Lithgow City Council
Grade:4/6		Length	5km	250m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
ALL INTENDING WALKERS MUST BE DOUBLE VACCINATED. Rocky Creek Canyon is without a doubt one of the most spectacular canyons in the Greater Blue Mountains/Wollemi area with its exquisite sculptured walls, numerous cascades and gorgeous pools to enjoy on a hot summer day. There are a few compulsory swims, so a wetsuit is essential, and a helmet should be used as well. The leader has many spare helmets to loan if intending walkers don't have one. There are no abseils involved. Rock scrambling and hopping with several swims involved. Location: Wollemi NP Map: Rock Hill 89312N View

12-19 Mar, Sat (07:00AM)-Sat (10:00AM)				The Overland Track, Tasmania
Grade:4/6		Length	65km		Sydney Branch
Mark G.
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Cradle Mountain to Lake St. Clair. Arguably Australia's premier long-distance walk, The Overland Track is undoubtedly a walk of superlatives, not the least being the supremely beautiful landscape you travel through from Cradle Mountain all the way down south to Lake St. Clair. On this trip I plan to do several side trips (optional), including climbing Barn Bluff, Mt Oakleigh, Mt Ossa, as well as visiting the Labyrinth. The cost of the walk is $200 and you have the option of staying in the huts along the way, open to availability, but you do have to carry a tent or arrange to share with another. We will get picked up in Launceston and taken to the walk start and again at the finish of the walk will get transported from Cynthia Bay back to Hobart. 4 seasons in one day is Tassies mantra so expect any sort of climatic conditions.
