Grade:4/6		Length	7km	230m	Sydney Branch
Mark G.
In my local area is the beautiful Shaws Creek, which I only have partially explored, so in this walk I plan to visit its upper reaches via a rocky and very scenic ridge, before following its length down to a track, which I know well. Along the way you can expect some stunning swimming pools and patches of rainforest along with gorgeous views along the ridge that leads down to the creek. Rock scrambling and off-track walking.

8 Sep, Sun 8:00AM				Bungonia Gorge Circuit
Fully inside Goulburn Mulwaree Council
Grade:5/6		Length	9km	600m	Southern Sydney Branch
Paul L.
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Bungonia Gorge has vertical side in the section that we walk and is impressive in depth. With a drop of nearly 300 metres in a gorge which is 800 metres long and only 76 metres wide, is the deepest gorge in Australia. The track is well defined to and from the canyon and is a steep descent/ascent. The canyon itself has a boulder field that is a challenge and a delight to find ways over, under or beside the boulders. The creek has pools as it exits the boulder field and makes its way to join the Shoalhaven River. Starting on the red track we descend into the canyon and then down stream through the boulder field. We will follow the creek to the white track at the confluence with the Shoalhaven River and then up to Mt Ayre lookout for views over the creek and river. Rejoin the red track and back to cars. Creek crossings, slippery rocks, steep walk out. Location: Bungonia NP Map: Caoura 8928-3N Limit: 12. View

This is one of my favourite Springtime walks because the flowers and views on this circuit are spectacular and varied! Expect masses of blooms, and if lucky, we should see plenty of orchids along the way. The Hawkesbury sandstone country we will be travelling through has a lot to offer the intrepid walker, so come along and see for yourself why this area is a must-visit location.

Anton
(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) Rock Island is a stunning and almost treeless ridge above Deanes Creek. Surrounded by deep and beautifully lush ravines, to reach the island we will pass through the beautiful “Valley that Time Forgot”. Also, grand sandstone overhangs, awesomely large trees, and a few more surprises.  A grade 4 to grade 5 walk. A few moderate climbs, and a total elevation gain of 400m. At 12 km it’s a moderately long walk. Mostly off track but not overly technical. There are short sections of thick scrub at the start and end. Time for photos and side explorations is required, so this will be a long day with an early start.  The walk spans a corner of each of the Ben Bullen, Cullen Bullen, Rock Hill and Mount Morgan topogoraphic maps.  Some short sections of thick scrub on steep slopes. Location: Wollemi NP Map: Mount Morgan 89311S, Ben Bullen 89314S, Rock Hill 89312N, and Cullen Bullen 89313N Limit: 12. View
