An interesting walk, with a little bit of everything. Start by wading across the knee deep Shoalhaven River from the Berlang campground– 150m ascent – visit the rather impressive Big Hole (a limestone roofless cave which is over 100m deep and 50m wide) – then undulating terrain to the Marble Arch Cave – return trip via same route does involve a steep ascent up from the cave of approx 250 ms and more undulating terrain

You can find a good write up for this walk here

The pace will be pretty easy going, no rush on hills!

This is a LONG drive (south of Braidwood),  I plan to camp at the Berlang campground on Friday and Saturday nights.  If you would like to book a campsite, bookings can be made here

On Sunday morning I will be visiting the Braidwood Bakery, always a great place to stop and grab a coffee and supplies for the long drive home!

For those who are interested, we will be walking on the Kain 3rd ed topo map

5 Nights, 4 full days staying within Murramarang National Park. 3 Days forest and coastal walking, grade 3 level, half a day walking in the impressive Eurobodalla Botanic Gardens, and 2 optional paddles suggested so far, organised by Helen Moody. One paddle would be a half day outing on Durras Lake launching adjacent to the caravan park, the other dependent on weather, either Batemans Bay bridge to Nelligen or Batemans Bay to Big Island return. Paddlers doing the Bateman’s Bay paddle would miss one of the walks.

Joint trip for Illawarra Ramblers and Shoalhaven Bush Walkers

The plan is use the beautiful Old Snowy campsite as a base camp and do day walks from here. Facilities are very basic, you will need to bring all food, your own drinking water, firewood. Car camping also allows you to bring all those little luxuries that you wouldn’t carry on a pack walk! (A good book, esky, chairs, lots of happy hour food and a bottle of wine, whatever … enjoy!)

Planned walks include:

Pockets Hut

Oldfields Hut

Circuits Hut

Currango Homestead & the nearby Tantangara Reservoir (beautiful, expansive views)

There also the option to explore the numerous fire trails on mountain bikes if you so desire. (Not part of the club trip, just an available option)

Or just take a day off and relax around the campfire! 🙂

You will need to organize your own transport, and have decent gear that will stand up to the weather of the High Plains environment. (Campsite is relatively sheltered but the High Plains is a mountain environment, campsite does get some wind!)

​Maps: Tantangara, Rendezvous Creek & Rules Point

If this sounds like you, please send me an email, turner.melinda@gmail.com

Joint Walk with Shoalhaven Bushwalkers. A circuit walk on track and fire trail. From the end of Jack’s Corner Rd we will take the track down to the confluence of Yarrunga Ck and Kangaroo River. This track has a rather steep decent section. At the end we turn onto a fire trail for the rest of the journey. Lunch at Beehive Point.  Return leg will be on a gentler grade fire trail. 200m elevation change.

Combined walk with Shoalhaven Bushwalkers. Starting at the Moes (Green) Rock car park, we’ll make our way along the rock platform (swell permitting) to Stony Creek and Cape St George. We’ll then cross a headland before descending into Rock Funnel Beach. After this, we’ll follow the faint track for spectacular views of the sea caves at Paradise Rocks which we’ll traverse around to and then follow the fire trail back to the cars. Possible swimming opportunity at Green Patch on the way back.
This is an easy Grade 4 walk but it is Grade 4. You’ll need to be comfortable walking over rough terrain.

Launch from St Georges Basin boar ramp and explore Cow Creek. Then we will, wind and weather permitting, explore the coves and creeks of the isolated south-western side of the lake. Bring morning tea and lunch.
