Program Activities

The walk will start at the Monday Morning Cafe opposite Thornleigh Train Station on the west side of the railway line. Meet Julie and John at the cafe at 9am for a 9:30am start. There will be a short urban street walk to join the Great North Walk. We will then follow the GNW around the back of the suburb of Westleigh following the track through Berowra Valley Regional Park. We will traverse the Blue Gum Forest as we make our way toward The Fishponds and eventually emerging at the bottom of the Hornsby Heritage Steps at the Rosemead Rd Park. We will then ascend the Hornsby Heritage Steps (over 300) to access the back streets of Hornsby. It is then just a short walk to Hornsby Train Station. Please note there will be some rocky locations which will require rock climbing up and down. Most of the trail will be undulating.

After a short urban walk we descend (193 metres) to the excellent swimming hole at Kangaroo Creek via Bottle Forest Trail and Engadine Track. A little bit of effort is now required to ascend (100 metres) metal stairs to the Robertson's Roundabout Track and then down to the Hacking River. We are now into the picnic grounds of Audley which we traverse to cross the Audley Weir. It is then a delightful and easy graded Honeymoon Track ascent (108 metres) to the National Park Station. We can catch an historic tram from here to Loftus Station, or walk 3km on a fire trail beside the line. The cost of the tram is $6 Adult or $4 Concession.

Details: Gossip never goes out of fashion. Deliciously naughty and outrageously silly, this timeless comedy is a master-class in social satire and the art of gossip.

Also note, the venue for the Lane Cove Theatre is now at the Performance Space, 1 Pottery Lane, Lane Cove. For Members and partners only.

This is a 5-night challenging multi day 65km bushwalk following the Green Gully Track, west of Port Macquarie, in the Oxley Wild Rivers National Park.  It is a full backpack bushwalk although you will not be camping as you will be staying in heritage huts each night. You need experience in full backpack bushwalking and have experience in carrying your gear on overnight full backpack bushwalks. This includes the ability to carry your food. The walk will be occasionally challenging with a 900 descent on day 2 and walk along the creek on day 3 and a 600 m ascent on day 4.  For details of the walk please see https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/the-green-gully-track/visitor-info

We will be meeting at Wentworth Falls Station at 9am and walking the Darwin and Undercliff/Overcliff tracks from Wentworth Falls to Leura.  We will be visiting Weeping Rock and Wentworth Falls. The walk is on well-marked bush tracks with stunning views over the Jamison Valley in the Blue Mountains.

Muogamarra Nature Reserve is open 6 weeks every year and is located about 3km from Cowan.  We will be meeting with a Park Ranger at 10am at the Muogamarra Visitors Centre.  We have booked the Lloyd Trig Deerubbin Walk guided tour which takes about 3 to 4 hours but afterwards we will be able to wander around the Visitor Centre and the Nature Reserve.  Cost Adult $35 and Concession $30 to be paid on the day.  Bring snacks, lunch, water and wear suitable clothing for the weather on the day. When booking let the Walk Leader (Anna) know if you require a lift or can provide a lift as the Nature Reserve is not near public transport.

Join Lynn and Denise on this walk through Duffys Forest. We will follow fire trails and an overgrown narrow track to Mount Murray Anderson. The walk has gradual climbs with some short rock scrambles however you will be rewarded with great views and spring flowers. Members only.

All members are welcome to attend the Club's Committee Meeting which will be held online via Microsoft Teams from 6pm to 7pm. If you have any issues or matters you wish the Club to consider please send me an email by 16th October with the details so it can be included in the Agenda.

This is a 30 min online forum for new Activity Leaders starting at 6pm (and those who want to brush up).  The aim is to give you support and address any concerns.  We will discuss how to lead a walk, requirements on the day and risk management. When emailing to book let me know if you want specific issues discussed.  Once you book I will set up the meeting.
