This is only 3.4 km loop track – a lot of which is on a fire trail. There is a lovely swimming hole and waterfall at The Basin on the Georges River. However, reviews suggest that the track along the river is a bit overgrown and at times rough. There are steep steps on leaving the river. The overall elevation gain is 90m and the walk is classed as a moderate (grade 3) hike. We will meet at 9.30am at the end of Georges River Rd Kentlyn, where there is an ample car park. Bring your swimmers and morning tea/lunch. If time permits we may visit Freres Crossing after our return to the car park.

Members might remember that Dave Robson spoke to a Branch evening about the bush regeneration occurring on this site. The team will be working there again on 11th November, and they are keen to show NPA members what they have achieved and how they work. We get to see the historical archaeology they have uncovered, and we also see a little visited corner of the park. Some scrambling might be in order.
