POPRAN NP, Hominy Creek – 21 May 2020
I felt like an off track walk in an area that hadn’t been impacted by bushfires, but didn’t feel like doing too much research so I pulled out a trip that I’d done about 12 years ago to Hominy Creek.  I had a pretty good recollection of some parts (the easy bits), so thought it would be ok to put it on the BWOC calendar.

WATAGAN MOUNTAINS – 16 May 2020
Yes, still looking for a canyon closer to home, and whilst Heather had warned me that there wasn’t a canyon in this unnamed creek, I was still hopeful.  It was a nice walk in a lovely creek with a Hole in the Rock in an almost-canyon section. Continue reading →

BLUE MOUNTAINS – 22 March 2020
After our Cerberus walk there was much debate about what we’d do on the Sunday.  We opted for Centennial Glen – and have to say that it was the highlight of the weekend, who would have thought that there’d be such a nice 1/2 day trip so close to civilisation? Continue reading →
