  There’s a new track in town! The first section of the Lost City trail has been completed and I intend to walk its length and also explore various pagodas and other highlights off the main track as there’s always plenty to attract you’re attention in this type of landscape! The pace will be relaxed and intending participants should be good at rock scrambling and be prepared for some offtrack adventuring! Rock scrambling

(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) This trip will showcase just what a spectacular place the Western Budawangs is! We will start our journey from the campsite at Wog Wog and travel via Corang Peak, Corang Arch, Profile rock to a comfortable camp cave at Burrumbeet brook. Then on day two we travel over Mt. Tarn to the superb camp cave situated on Mt. Haughton, complete with nearby waterfall. On our last day we travel via Stiles creek, Round mountain, the Endrick River and the Redgrounds track back to our cars near the Alum creek firetrail.
In every way this is a walk on the wild side and with the briskness of Winter upon us a warming campfire at night and the stars above, this will certainly be one memorable walk worth doing.

  (NEW!!!) Rising high above the surrounding farmlands is an isolated ridge of pink and grey granite, the stunning, and in places rugged, Evans Crown nature reserve, where there are many outcrops certainly worth exploring and climbing for the magnificent views over the surrounding countryside. Also, at this time of the year the wattle is usually in full flower so the hills are covered in gold making walking in the area even more compelling! Who knows, maybe a dusting of snow is not impossible as the area does get the odd coverage now and again! rock scrambling

The garden showcases Australian flora amongst 416 hectares of rolling hills, lakes, lawns and gardens. In the late 18th century, the discovery of a new continent filled with exotic plants unknown to the rest of the world created waves of excitement in the field of botany. The Australian Botanic Garden displays approximately 2000 of these plants via themed gardens across the site as well as the Connections Garden, a four-hectare intensely cultivated space right in the heart of the Garden. Other features of the Garden include a restaurant, visitor center with gift shop, free gas barbecues and acres of Cumberland Plain Woodland to explore. Come Spring, the paper daisies become an attraction for visitors. Various species of Waratahs will be flowering too. After seeing the floral display, we will walk to the Sundial, Mount Annan Peak, the Blue Tree before leaving the Garden to visit Lake Yandel'ora before catching the bus home. Expect a long day. Not suitable for walkers who need to get back by a certain time. Limit: 10.
