(Fully Booked - Ask leader about waiting list) The Mugii Murum Ban SCA is an amazing area west of Lithgow which has largely avoided the crowds of other locations further east and so is a great place to escape the Easter hordes! Incredibly rugged and populated by more pagodas,slots and ravines and superlative viewing points than you can possibly imagine it will keep the adventurous bushwalker focused and delighted for as long as youre hearts desire. Accommodation will be in the very comfortable Royal Hotel for the 3 day walks in MMB. Rock scrambling and off-track sections with very few tracks.
