A beautiful walk through native woodland, spectacular cliffs and beautiful beaches. Crawl through Gosangs tunnel  and stand on the cliff looking out to sea. Start at Currarong near Nowra

Very steep uphill to just below the cliff line on the escarpment.  Clamber up steep water course on hands and knees to first lookout followed by more climbing to the top.  Level through scrub to second lookout.  Return by same route.  On this walk we will not be trespassing on Water Board land.

We will launch into the Murrumbidgee River at Maude and paddle 210 Km to Balranald. There are no towns to call into for provisions and so we will need to be self sufficient for seven days of camping on the river bank. Detailed information will be available from the joint leaders closer to the time.

It’s the 22nd anniversary for this trip and it will be a trip like no other given the situation in Kosciuszko NP and surrounds. Some of the regular walks have been heavily impacted by fire, some Snowy huts and other infrastructure destroyed but others not, so we’ll need to carefully select which areas to visit. Importantly we will have the opportunity to survey and learn what’s doing with recovery of the landscape by then while offering support to the impacted communities of the region. Base at caravan park with camping, powered site or cabin options. Joint trip with NPA, combined limit applies. Contact leader for more trip detail.

Travel via Lightning Ridge to Carnarvon Gorge NP,  Eungella NP, Porcupine Gorge NP, Hughenden, Richmond, Winton ( dinosaur country) and return down Matilda Hwy to Bourke.

Caravan, cabins, etc. Multiple nights in many places.

Possible 3.5 weeks with group to decide final itinerary several months before.

Phone Noelene if interested and for more detail.
