20 Sep, Wed 9:00AM				Granite Falls & Rainforest Walk
Grade:2/6		Length	4km		Milton Branch
Kevin R.
Two short walks, with a wee drive in between. Firstly an easy level stroll to the viewing platform at the appropriately named Granite Falls, spectacular in its own right and of geologic interest. Then the rainforest walk which must be the easiest walk to experience the majesty of the rainforest and rocky escarpments which border the coastal environs in the district. Combine this with glorious views from Boyd Lookout at the top and morning tea (bring your own...) in a picnic area reminiscent of hanging Rock, and you have a morning to remember. View

Grade:3/6		Length	10km	250m	Sydney Branch
(SWAG) Esther
Leader: Philip Wright.  Philip has an insider's knowledge of the The Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan.  The garden showcases Australian flora amongst 416 hectares of rolling hills, lakes, lawns and gardens. In the late 18th century, the discovery of a new continent filled with exotic plants unknown to the rest of the world created waves of excitement in the field of botany. The Australian Botanic Garden displays approximately 2000 of these plants via themed gardens across the site as well as the Connections Garden, a four-hectare intensely cultivated space right in the heart of the Garden. Other features of the Garden include a restaurant, visitor centre with gift shop, free gas barbecues and acres of Cumberland Plain Woodland to explore. Come Spring, the paper daisies become an attraction for visitors. Various species of Waratahs will be flowering too. After seeing the floral display, we will walk to the Sundial, Mount Annan Peak, the Blue Tree before leaving the Garden to visit Lake Yandel'ora before catching the bus home. Expect a long day. Not suitable for walkers who need to get back by a certain time.   Location: Mt Annan View

Grade:5/6		Length	8km	450m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Rising up from the Capertee Valley, Pantoneys Crown is majestic from all angles and is indeed a mountain worth ascending as the view from the top is truly outstanding, and I should know as this will be my 22nd visit to the top! Of course to get to that summit requires some bush bashing and steep ascending via a somewhat rocky ridge, but hey, that's all in the fun of it! Off-track, rock scrambling and bush bashing.
