Mark G.
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) The former mining town of Yerranderie is now a very pleasant place to stay with the option of cabin accommodation or very comfortable camping at the cars, complete with hot showers, gas BBQs and shelters in case of rain. On this 4-day weekend I'm planning to explore many of the local attractions, including climbing Yerranderie Peak, The Axehead Range and other local mountains. These walks are on very rough tracks or off-track, so expect to encounter some scrub along the way. Places are strictly limited, so contact me asap if you want to join me on this wonderful 4-day escape into a rarely visited and captivating location. Rock scrambling and off-track.

In my local area is the beautiful Shaws Creek, which I only have partially explored, so in this walk I plan to visit its upper reaches via a rocky and very scenic ridge, before following its length down to a track, which I know well. Along the way you can expect some stunning swimming pools and patches of rainforest along with gorgeous views along the ridge that leads down to the creek. Rock scrambling and off-track walking.

8 Sep, Sun 8:00AM				Bungonia Gorge Circuit
Fully inside Goulburn Mulwaree Council
Grade:5/6		Length	9km	600m	Southern Sydney Branch
Paul L.
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Bungonia Gorge has vertical side in the section that we walk and is impressive in depth. With a drop of nearly 300 metres in a gorge which is 800 metres long and only 76 metres wide, is the deepest gorge in Australia. The track is well defined to and from the canyon and is a steep descent/ascent. The canyon itself has a boulder field that is a challenge and a delight to find ways over, under or beside the boulders. The creek has pools as it exits the boulder field and makes its way to join the Shoalhaven River. Starting on the red track we descend into the canyon and then down stream through the boulder field. We will follow the creek to the white track at the confluence with the Shoalhaven River and then up to Mt Ayre lookout for views over the creek and river. Rejoin the red track and back to cars. Creek crossings, slippery rocks, steep walk out. Location: Bungonia NP Map: Caoura 8928-3N Limit: 12. View
