Joint Walk with Shoalhaven Bushwalkers. Starting and finishing from Hyland’s lookout off Deans Gap Rd we will traverse, off track, along the cliff top before descending to explore Daphne’s Overhang, a 250m long overhang. The return journey will be along the base of the escarpment before ascending a pass to return to the cars. You will need to be confident moving over rough ground but the experience will be worth it. Maps Yalwal and Sassafras.

Exploratory walk from Marley Track to Big Marley and back. Exploratory means I have not done all this walk before.

Some fire trail and tracks, through deer pool to Big Marley.

Track head is about 6km from turn off from Sir Bertram Stephens Drive to Bundeena Drive.
