Port Hacking meets the Tasman sea south of Cape Solander, Captain Cooks
landing place.

appearance

2 - Box Vale Track, State Forest, Welby, Southern Highlands
Located in State Forest at Welby, south of Mittagong on the Old Hume
Highway. The Box Vale track was a narrow gauge tramway created to service
a coal mine in Box Vale Creek. The tramway and its bridge are long
gone but the cuttings, embankments and tunnel still remain much modified
by mother nature, this gentle walk of 9 kilometre's return is superb.

3 - Georges River, Old Ford Road, Bushwalkers Basin, Freres Crossing,
Kentlyn, Campbelltown, NSW
A stunning walk in a much under-rated area between Campbelltown and
the Princess Highway, inland from the Royal National Park.
The walk is only seven kilometre's but takes an average group approximately
five hours along the banks of Georges Rives starting at Hansons Rd
Kentlyn.
There are several river crossings and the walk passes the Old Ford
Road and Bushwalkers Basin at Kentlyn before moving on to its finishing
point at Freres Crossing. On the way one passes many Gymea Lilies and
Grass Trees, the sandstone cliffs with their caves are worth noting
as is the unusual rock formations on the river bed which resemble the
holes on Swiss cheese. The walk is mostly off-track and not for the
inexperienced walker.

4 - Mt Tomah, Blue Mountains, NSW
More of a social event than a bushwalk, the trip to Mt Tomah in the
Blue Mountains is very rewarding with the views.
Time if for Spring or Autumn to catch the colour of the plants and
trees and one has a very rewarding day.
We caught the opening day of the Waratah Festival but were too early
for the American trees section coming into leaf, we also saw the small
grove of the ancient Wollami Pine (65,000,000 years old).

Garie Beach

The journey continues passing Curracurang then Curracurong, after pausing
to view Eagle Rock it is on to Garie Beach and a welcome ice cream

7 - MacBUG, Spring Ride, Sydney, Homebush Bay
Ten MacBUG members set out for the ride, one slept in (you know who
you are). Five caught the 4.57am train from Campbelltown to Central,
then the train to North Sydney. The views were something else crossing
the harbour bridge with the sun fully up and the forecast warmth already
being felt.

8 - Lady Carrington Drive, Forest Island, Palona Cave, Wallumarra
Track, Hacking river, Curra Moors trail, Couranga track, RNP
The rain forest walk is an easy walk of around 8 kilometers, almost
entirely in rain forest and its accompanying shade.
- Gallery
9 - Burning Palms
This superb 11.5 km walk starts at Otford and follows the Garawarra
track along the top of the escarpment to the Garawarra Farm. Approximately
2 km from Otford there is a pad to the right which descends through
rain forest to Palm Jungle and Burning Palms. Prior to the descent
there are two lookouts to the side of the pad which are worth a visit.
The pad meanders on through constantly changing flora until one arrives
at Burning Palms. The ascent from Burning Palms up the Burg Ridge can
be a challenge for those new tp walking or less fit. At the top of
the escarpment one turns right onto the Garrawarra track for the 4
km walk back to Otford.
