(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Kamakah Gully is a dry narrow canyon, almost dark in short sections as it winds through the sandstone. We will walk from Bells Line of Road along the ridge beside Kamakah Gully and then enter the gully from a shoulder following the foot pad down. Once in the gully the walk follows the stream up into the canyon as it narrows and twists its way through the sandstone to the point where the canyon ends. Walk is in declared wilderness area, group limit of eight. Not a difficult walk, grade 4 due to off-track walking. Will need to run this walk again soon for those who could not join this one or missed out with limit. Regrowth may make following foot pad to canyon difficult.

The Alphabet Series: "U" ..UWS Sculpture and Art Gallery Walk A visit to see the sculptures in Western Sydney University, the Art Gallery of Campbelltown and the Japanese gardens behind the Art Gallery. The Art Centre is a large outdoor sculpture and manicured park area which features a range of permanent and changing exhibitions. Experience the unique sculptures in a beautiful outdoor setting. Experience the Tether of Time - a 15-metre sculpture and meet Esmeralda, the 10-tonne granite prehistoric wombat. Spring time will enhance our visual and smell sense in our visit to the Japanese Gardens. The Japanese Gardens are a special gift from Koshigaya, Campbelltown's Sister City in Japan. The Gardens symbolise the beliefs and religion of both Shinto, the indigenous religion of Japan, and Zen Buddhism. The Campbelltown Japanese Gardens feature a traditional waterfall, koi pond, timber bridge, stonework pathways, lush plantings and a 16th Century designed teahouse, handcrafted by Japanese craftsmen. The aim of the garden is to obtain quiet solitude. The design represents elegant simplicity, lending itself to contemplation and heightened awareness. The Gardens is also home to the Arts Centre Cafe, a scenic dining location that overlooks the tranquil gardens. View

Co-leader Kevin Songberg. A 3-day pack trip to Bylong Labyrinth. Day 1. Park an Benjang Gap and proceed up Lee Creek to GR 317 890. Establish camp.

Break the camp and find a way up to the eastern end of Labyrinth Saddle, GR 315 903. Explore the area to the north before proceeding to Labyrinth Peak for overnight camp. About 10 km. Day 3. Descend from Labyrinth Peak, walk east, then north, following the ridge to around GR 312 920 for the final descent towards Lee Creek. Walk back to Benjang Gap. About 8 km. Mostly exploratory.
