Ben Bullen State Forest: Skittle Row |
| Grade:4/6 |
Length |
6km |
|
Sydney Branch |
| Yuri B. |
 Find out why Ben Bullen State Forest must be protected for future generations. Park the vehicles at GR 295 140 on the Bicentennial National Trail. Head SW and explore a number of scenic pagoda ridges. Cross the valley to the W and explore the ridge and spectacular cliff lines on the other side, heading back NE. There is a reason why this walk is named as above, and it has to be seen to be believed. If open cut mining is allowed in other parts of the Forest (eg the Coalpac project), it is only a matter of time before this area too will be completely destroyed. See it whilst you can.
