This is a replacement walk for the originally advertised one to Goolara Peak & Gully in the Wild Dog Mountains which had to be cancelled due to closure of the area by NPWS for hazard reduction burning operations.  This Macquarie NP walk is also unsurveyed, 65% of which will involve "negotiable routes", the remainder being on road and firetrail.  Some of the negotiable routes may have discernible tracks but this is not known.  The walk should be very scenic as it will feature up to 5 waterfalls plus several cascades as well as natural rock formations and rainforest.  Wet feet (and leeaches) are a distinct possibility. Meeting place for departure and car pool will be 7:30am at Strathfield Square.
