20 Jul, Sat 7:30AM				Cape Pinnacle and Rockflower Ridge
Grade:4/6		Length	10km	400m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
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

The Reserve itself covers an area of 8.5 ha, with the river and anabranch being home to water dragons, turtles and a variety of birds. Once overrun with environmental weeds, it has now been cleared and replanted with native grasses, shrubs and trees, thanks largely to the work of Bega River and Wetlands Landcare (BRAWL) Easy walking on concrete and gravel paths.

Mark G.

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.
