Glenbrook Creek and Gorge Walk

Glenbrook Creek and Gorge Walk

The weather was perfect for this day trip down Glenbrook Creek. After a long train ride from the big-smoke, 9 walkers alighted from a Blue Mountains train at Glenbrook station at 9:23, where we were meet by George and Kate. After 1km or so of walking in the back streets of Glenbrook, we left the sealed road and found a track leading down to the rail corridor. We followed…

MacMasters to Kilcare Beach via Maitland Bay

MacMasters to Kilcare Beach via Maitland Bay

It seemed a miracle after the heavy rain of the day before the walk, that it should turn out to be a bright sunny day, but that’s how it was. With a Cityrail foul-up on the Eastern Suburbs Line meaning 3 people couldn’t get to the walk, one more who got caught up in slow buses, and, well, a couple of simply no-shows, the remaining eight of us met together at Woy Woy Station. The it…

Blessed with a sky of blue and the warm caress of the sun, it was a perfect day for a nude yoga bushwalk just before the weather turned too cold. Despite the horrendous storm the day before, nine of us met full of anticipation outside Glenbrook Station where we soon piled into two cars. Mike led…

To sweeten…

Nattai: Russells Needle via the Slott Way

Russells Needle. Google it and you don’t find too much info: a Sydney University Bushwalkers page from a trip there in 2001 (they didn’t actually climb the Needle on that trip), a few entries from bushwalking clubs, and mentions of it in Dave Noble’s blog. But not much else. It is…

Wentworth Falls to Vera Falls (almost)

Wentworth Falls to Vera Falls (almost)

After meeting most people at Central Station we caught the train up to Wentworth Falls, picking up Trang at Parramatta and Charu was waiting at the Station. We noticed the clear blue sky from about Emu Plains to Linden, but after that the fabled “mountain clouds” came along, but it looked like we would get away without having any rain. At the…
