Bar Point Exploratory |
| Grade:3/6 |
Length |

400m |
Sydney Branch |
| Roger T. |
  Bar Point is an isolated riverside settlement on the Hawkesbury River in Popran National Park. The proposed route of the Great River Walk runs through this settlement. The route options have never been fully explored due to the remoteness of the area. So this walk is designed to fill in the gaps in our knowledge and explore the area, particularly a possible link between Bar Point and Big Jim Point. It will be an adventure.

 Minnamurra to Gerrigong. Jointly led by Geoffrey Lee and Ping Xie. A stunning 24 km pathway accompanying our sparkling coastline. The spectacular walk begins at Minnamurra and wanders past headlands, rivers, beaches, Kiama town centre up to Blowhole Point then on towards the Little Blowhole passing more beaches and bays before winding up at Werri Beach. The last 6 km between Loves Bay and Werri Beach is particularly blessed with its own rugged and untouched natural beauty. Keep an eye out for whales, sea eagles and hawks. https://kiama.com.au/kiama-coast-walk Slippery sections. Limit: 12.

Other attractions include the Boneyard and the Spring Creek Wetlands. Near the blowhole is the 1881-built Pilot’s Cottage Museum and the heritage-listed Kiama Lighthouse.

Save Kosci: Jacqua Road to Tarago |

Length |
26km |
|
Branch |
| General Community Event |
 Save Kosci walk: day 16. The second day of ‘big sky country’ to reach Tarago. Though the walking is mostly flat, even a little elevation gives pleasant views left and right, including views to the distant Budawangs and Mt Palerang. Pass the dry lake bed called ‘The Morass’, one of the Bathurst Lake group. For most of the day, on Lumley Road, traffic is limited to about 1 vehicle every 20 minutes. A long day at 25.6 km but the terrain makes it easy to get into a good pace. Overnight at The Loaded Dog, Tarago, an old country pub full of character.

Branch |
| General Community Event |
  Save Kosci walk: day 17. At 18.8km a shorter day, with the highlight being a catered afternon tea at historic Merigan Homestead. We vary 3km from the most direct route, in order to avoid extended narrow verges on the Tarago-Bungendore Rd. Instead the route follows the Braidwood Road for 8.4km (less busy than the Kings Hwy and better verges), then takes the quieter Mt Fairy Road, initially sealed but later gravel, for a 7.6km wander though a varied rural landscape with pleasant views. Arriving at Merigan Homestead, around 2:30pm, we meet a bunch of local walkers for afternoon tea & a short talk on the station’s history by the owner Tim de Mestre. Then join the local walkers for 2.7km on farm road through an avenue of deciduous trees to the Merigan boundary, with a good viewpoint on the way. Return the 2.7km to the homestead in the support car(s). Overnight at the homestead, either very comfortable accommodation in the renovated ‘Maids quarters’ indoors, or camping. Dinner is roast local lamb and salads at $15.50 a head. For more info and to register go to https://savekosci.org/
