15 Jul, Mon 7:01PM				Southern Sydney Branch Zoom talk: Protecting our urban trees
Grade:1/6					Southern Sydney Branch
Brian E.
Many of you love our native trees. We love the shade they provide. We love the wildlife they harbour. We love their appearance within our streets, our suburbs and our communities. Yet so many are taken out without little thought and that could be devastating as our climate warms. Rhonda Daniels, a force within Australian Plant Society, is presenting to us about the importance of trees within our communities. Come and join her for this truly special event. Monday, 15th July at 7.00pm https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8102670640?omn=87638943742 View

Cape Pinnacle juts out high above the Wolgan Valley and is truly spectacular from any angle. But this fabulous feature of the Gardens of Stone is only part of the story, as getting there involves walking along a ridge of stunning pagodas, which beg to be climbed. This is a location few people go to, so come along and discover what you're missing out on! Rock scrambling and off-track walking. Location: Gardens of Stone NP Map: Cullen Bullen 89313N Limit: 12.

Urban noise disappears as we follow Magdala Creek 4km down to Glenbrook Creek. Here we find tall trees, and patches of rainforest in the deep gullies. As always, there is a climb out of the valley. We return to Springwood Station via Sassafras Gully Rd after a little sidetrip to see the stone cross. No major creek crossings, but there are a number of short shallow ones. We shouldn't have to take our shoes off. Wet rocks may be slippery near creeks. Sand on rocks is also slippery. Location: Blue Mountains National Park Map: Springwood Limit: 12. View

Mark G.
(Cancelled) The GRNC1 crosses the great southern section of Grande Terre, the main island of New Caledonia and takes bushwalkers on a journey of a variety of habitats from tropical beaches to towering rainforests, waterfalls galore and scenic mountain ridges, making this truly a walk in paradise. There are walkers huts at each campsite and we will travel through the Blue River Provincial Park for a large section of the walk.

21 Jul, Sun 8:00AM				The Cliff Lines to Point Cameron
Grade:5/6		Length	13km	500m	Sydney Branch
Anton
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Point Cameron is a great destination, but the journey there is quite astonishing. This is a long, at times challenging walk through some of the best scenery the Gardens of Stone has to offer. First we must trudge through a kilometre or two of thick scrub, but our payoff is an extended cliff and pagoda top walk high above the eastern side of the Capertee Valley. On our way, we will see Jamison Pass, the Plain of Shards, Ngamperi Rock (the original Nipple Rock) and the Pondage Canyon. Time permitting, we can also drop in on Stargate Tunnel on our return. Off-track. Location: Gardens of Stone NP Map: Ben Bullen 89314S Limit: 8. View
