This is a repeat of one of my most enjoyable walks last year. Travelling by fast train and then a bus, we reach the Princess Marina Track to the beautiful Kellys Falls, set in bushland that is noticeably different to that around Sydney or the Blue Mountains. From here we walk around and see some of the wonderful views over the coast from Stanwell Tops before descending 150 metres down the escarpment to Stanwell Park Station for the journey home. Most of the walk is fairly flat except for the descent to Stanwell Park. Uneven and possibly slippery track surfaces, a steep descent and creek crossings.

Plus we might see possums, gliders, the odd frog and experience this world heritage walk in a completely different way. People doing this walk are encouraged to do the walk to Mt Victoria beforehand and to stay in the mountains to avoid the long drive home.

If you have ever wanted to see those elusive but ever-so-cute flying ducks, this is your chance..... location to be advised when booking in! However the walk will be along a fire trail and there are many other flowers to enjoy en route! You'll need to keep your eyes alert and be ready to go "wow" and "ooh" and other expletives. Bring lunch with you. Bring a hat. Bring water. And... bring a camera. We may walk 5km... or we might walk 9km.... that will be decided on the day and the weather ... and the inclinations of the entire party.
