Minnamurra Falls walk involves 3.5 km round trip on a series of elevated board walks and paved sections that wind through a lush canopy of giant figs and orchids. The track involves the option of a spirited climb towards the Upper Falls for those who feel inclined. After morning tea in Jamberoo, there is the option of visiting Jerrara dam to see Landcare work, a grassy walk to the dam to view bird life (so bring binoculars), and a short flat walk through the rainforest back to the cars.

Easy coastal ride. Cycle path and best beach scenery. Mostly flat and relaxed riding. A couple of stops. Coffee at Thirroul.

Ride terminates at Thirroul. Return to start at own pace.

Walk from Waterfall to Heathcote in the Heathcote NP.  Very steep and rough in places, river crossings and undulating terrain.  We will start fairly early as it is a long day and a car shuffle will be required.

Around the lake via Oak Flats to Reddall Reserve and Barrack Point, then on to Shellharbour.  Mainly level cycle paths, and a quick cycle up the hill around the roundabout, then back to Shellharbour Beach Surf Club for coffee.  A few suburban streets through Oak Flats.  Lake and ocean views.

Train to Rhodes, walk through the “Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway”, then along the Parramatta River foreshore, viewing the historical “Thomas Walker Convalescent Hospital” in Concord West and heritage listed “Yaralla Estate” and gardens. Onto Breakfast Point to Cabarita Wharf for ferry to Circular Quay and Central.

Starting at the Mount Bushwalker car park, we’ll work our way to the ephemeral Coachwood Falls/Trickle/Intermittent Drip! From here we’ll descend to a pass that enables us to access the unique feature of Spout and Cone. On our way back, we’ll traverse across to Burnt Log Cave before returning to the car park. Expect vegetation, rough terrain and possibly water.

This is a combined walk with the Shoalhaven Bushwalkers

4th to 7th March 2027

152 kms over 4 days on a wide compacted gravel surface. The landscape is stunning and will be embellished in Autumn colours.

The company Trail Journeys provides bike hire, including e-bikes, accommodation for 3 nights, daily luggage transfers, transport from Queenstown to start the ride and to Dunedin at end of ride, full briefing, detailed maps and call support throughout the journey.

Trail Journey’s quote is approximately A$1700 for these 4 days of self guided cycling.  I will book this as a Rambler’s group.

Some of us are flying to Queenstown on 2nd March and flying out of Dunedin on 9th March 2027. This will give us a day before the ride in Queenstown and a day after the ride in Dunedin.

Participants will need to book flights, and accommodation in Queenstown and Dunedin, themselves. I will advise where we are staying and flight numbers for people who want to travel as a group.
