Program Activities

Join us for this classic walk in the Royal National Park with several water features. The walk starts at Engadine Station and follows the Engadine Track to Kangaroo Creek; Uloola Track to Uloola Falls; then the Karloo Track to Karloo Pool and Heathcote Station. This walk is all on bush tracks. There are some ascents and descents and 2 small creek crossings.

This circular walk will start and finish at the St Ives Showground. About 9km is on undulating fire trails but there is a 2km steep section involving some scrambling down to Kierans Creek and up the other side back to the fire trail, using faint tracks/cairns. The remainder of the walk is on marked bush tracks through the wildflower gardens. Plenty of steep ups and downs, a couple of creek crossings and hopefully some wild flowers. Please book on this walk by 2nd August at the latest as I will not be available to confirm you are on it (limited spaces) and issue joining instructions after that date. This is a joint walk with the Bush Club.

Starting from Mangrove Mountain. This challenging circuit walk on designated fire trails is ideal for us adventurous bushwalkers who love to test themselves. The Dubbo Gully and Ten Mile Hollow Circuit combines several fire trails that lead through rugged and remote bushland and includes a section of the Old Great North Road built by convicts between 1826 -1836. Starting at Mangrove Mountain, we wind our way through Dubbo Gully, passing open fields and the historic St Thomas Cemetery and the historic Fairview Homestead.  Reaching the entrance to Dharug National Park we then head to Ten Mile Hollow Campground for a rest and relax over lunch.  From the campground we will connect with the Old Great North Road to Clares Bridge (the second oldest bridge on the mainland) and from here we then take the Donny’s Track Fire Trail which then loops us back onto the Dubbo Gully Track and back to our starting point.
