Grade:4/6		Length	5km	380m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
What this walk lacks in distance it more than makes up for in terms of variety and pure enjoyment as there is much to see and savour in this not often visited part of Wollemi national park. Along the way you'll encounter some of the best and largest swimming holes you could hope to find, gorgeous waterfalls and cascades and stands of towering trees in a rainforest environment. Add to these features, some extraordinary tafoni enriched sandstone caves, rock wells to play in and a hellva lot more. All in all, an adventurers playground par excellence! rock scrambling and offtrack walking Location: Wollemi NP Map: Mountain Lagoon 90313S Limit: 12. View

Numbers are restricted, so please contact Pamela Dawes soon to reserve your place. NSAS will be able to supply the telescopes but we will need to restrict numbers to 40. Please bring jumper, snacks, drinks (non alcoholic) a chair or picnic rug. They allow about 10 people per telescope, each viewing a different area of the sky, so there will be some waiting involved.
