Grade:3/6		Length	12km	300m	Sydney Branch
Esther
The 1813 crossing of the Blue Mountains was the expedition led by Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Charles Wentworth, which became the first successful crossing of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales by European settlers.  Mal January did not exactly follow the original route but mapped out his hiking route and led a group to cross the Blue Mountains twice.  Thanks to his generosity for permitting me to use his route, we can repeat this epic journey to cross the Blue Mountains. We are walking in reverse direction so as to take advantage of the cooler climate in upper Blue Mountains in the summer months. Autumn colours will be beautiful. We take the 8:24 Blue Mountains train every Sunday, with some exceptions. A certificate of completion will be awarded to walkers who complete all the 15 sections. If there are certain sections that you are not available, let me know. You may be able to pair up with another person to complete them on different dates. Pink Flaannel flowers seeds  need a fire and rain to germinate. We had both. Let’s see if we can find some. Steep and slippery sections. Location: Blue Mountains NP Map: Blue Mountains Limit: 10.

					Sydney Branch
Tony C.
A whole lot of rubbish came tumbling down the hills around the lagoon during the recent storms, so we’re taking to our kayaks with bags, racks and gloves on the hunt for those pesky bottles, coffee cups, plastic bags and other bits and bobs. With the support of Northern Beaches Council, we’ll be focusing on the shoreline between the picnic areas, which are difficult for land-based crews to access. Join our happy group at 9am on Clean Up Australia Day for a 2-hour session as we work our way around the waterway. Everything provided. No charge for kayak hire for the first 10 to sign up - $25 per person thereafter. You’ll get to experience more of the lagoon as we go and get some nice, gentle exercise, too. You must register in advance. Just send an email to Tony Carr, the former president of Friends of Narrabeen Lagoon Catchment, who will lead the session. Life jackets will be provided and must be worn while on the water. View
