We (9 including two school children) had great bushwalk at Oxley Wild Rivers National Park, the place was listed as World Heritage by United Nation, having the same reputation as Mount Everest, Grand Canyon (USA), Great Wall of China, Great Barrier Reef.   We also had another (Coffs Creek) walk at Coffs Harbour, the coastal city in northern New South Wales.

There will be one bushwalk this Sunday May 3, one of these two opinions: I think I Can or Caught Red Handed.

I think I Can:  A highlight of this walk is chance to get a close up view of the Knapsack Viaduct, completed in 1867. It was the most celebrated structure in the colony for many years. The viaduct carried the first trains crossing the Blue Mountains. The gradient was so steep that the trains needed to take the ascent in short sections. This was achieved by the engine pulling the load up to a switch point. The train as then switched to the rails parallel to the first leg on the next gradient. The engine then pushed the train up to the next level ......

Caught Red Handed: The Red Hands Cave is a site of tremendous important to the Aboriginal Heritage in the Blue Mountain region. This is a pleasant walk to the cave where interpretive signs explain the significance of the site. After walking through tall timered bushland you pass a site where the Aborigines sharpened rocks to make hunting axes. This walk is wonderful after a rainy period. The gurgling creeks and moist air are a treat. There are no big views yeats you will not miss out on experiencing dselightful scenery.

Meet at north side of Ashfield train station 9:00AM or south side (Railway Pde) of Burwood train station 9:05AM;

or Meet at Glenbrook Visitor Information Centre (of Great Western Highway, Glenbrook Park) 9:40AM if you drive own car or catch train.

Please SMS 0402 817 164 for intention(confirmation)

Just come to say thanks to peter for last Mt. Wilson's trip and say hello to the above two (katie & circle). Also, could you please PM me the actual address of your camping site@Mt. Wilson,Peter? We may go back there later.

If the weather is good tomorrow, I will join your walk with a friend.  I am going to SMS your phone now.  FYI - a chain store "Colorado" at Hurstville Westfield is currently running a promotion.  It gives $50 discount (RRP $159, i.e. nearly 35% off) on a specialist Trek boot. I bought a pair today.  It is very good quality (good sole with leather top).

12 of us had a great bushwalking at "I think I can" of Glenbrook region. We are planing to walking along Henry Cliff Walk of Echo Point, Furbers Steps, Federal Pass, to Ruined Castle (18 km return, 7.5-8.0 hours) this coming Saturday (May 9).

circleyue

i will do this one for sure.
after passing the bottom of Golden Stairs, are we going to Mt Solitary instead of Ruinted Castle, or we do both of them.
please see map below of "Mt Solitary Return"
http://ozultimate.com/bushwalkin ... litary_return01.pdf

i prefer including Mt Solitary since i just visited Ruined Castle 2 weeks ago.

ht ...

It will take 11 hours for "Scenic Railway to Mt Solitary via Ruined Castle" (length: 17.2 KM; time: 11 hours; climb: 1780 M).

The another track starting at Golden Staircase to Mt Solitary via Ruined Castle (length: 12 KM; time: 8 hours 45 minutes; climb: 1075 M) only takes less 9 hours.


So the best season for walking "Scenic Railway to Mt Solitary via Ruined Castle" is summer.

While walking along Henry Cliff Walk of Echo Point, Furbers Steps, Federal Pass, to Ruined Castle takes 8.0-9.0 hours (14.4 KM of return Furbers Steps, Federal Pass, to Ruined Castle, plus additional 4 KM of return Echo Point to Furbers Steps).

We can do one of these three options for this Saturday May 9, but have to start walking before 9:00 AM.

There will be one bushwalking at Berowra Valley Region Park on this Sunday May 10 in addition to Blue Mountain region this Saturday May 9.

From the ridge above Berowra Creek this track goes steeply down into the valley following Calna Creek. The narrow bushtrail section is quite beautiful with plenty of small creek crossings and sandstone overhangs. The grasslands section just before coming to the junction of Calna and Berowra Creeks is also very pretty.

Meeting place: Mount(Mt) Ku-Ring Gai Railway Station
Meeting time: 10:00 AM

I wish I could walk both tracks... but I can only go on one of these two days.  So I pick Berowra route (I know Berowra Water is a beautiful area).  Can you please organise the Echo Point track again, I would love to walk on this route.  Where do we meet on Sunday?

你好Peter, 请问Berowra route 难度高吗？想参加但怕又拖后腿了

bushwalking

The rate of this track is between easy and moderate. Everyone can walk.  The hard one is this Saturday's walking at Blue Mountain, which will take 8-9 hours.
