Tara Cave (Warrumbungle National Park) |
25 May, 2023 |
Easy |
4km return 90 mins |
|
| When we were last here in 2017, this walk was closed due to damage incurred in the 2013 bushfires. Now open and the track cleared this was an enjoyable early morning walk. | ||||

Fans Horizon (Warrumbungle National Park) |
25 May, 2023 |
Medium |
3.8km return 105 mins |
|
| I had an afternoon spare, so decided on this ‘unrecorded’ walk. Can’t say I could get very excited about it, with no views till you reach the lookout. It is a long 900+ steps up and then a knee jarring return, although the views from the lookout were rewarding. | ||||

Belougery Split Rock (Warrumbungle National Park) |
24 May, 2023 |
Hard |
4.6km return 3.5 hrs |
|
| On a three day stop over, we were lucky as this was the only day we could climb Split Rock due to ‘hazard reduction’. The scramble to the summit was well worth the effort with the wonderful views it provided. Personally, I would do the circuit clockwise, as the climb up is less steep and provides a better perspective of the rock formations. | ||||

Basket Swamp Falls (Basket Swamp National Park) |
22 May, 2023 |
Medium |
1.1km return 75 mins |
|
| Lahs, how the hell did you find this place? Turned out to be one of the best waterfall adventures we have ever done once you get your head around rock hopping and climbing back under the falls. |

Timbarra Lookout (Basket Swamp National Park) |
22 May, 2023 |
Hard |
300m return 1 hr |
|
| I would like to say that we climbed to the top and the trig, but alas we could not fit ourselves through the crevasse and were unsure what was beyond. Still, walked around the base to the far side and enjoyed what views we could. | ||||
|
Thunderbolts Hideout (New South Wales) |
22 May, 2023 |
Easy |
900m return 45 mins |
|
| I have driven past this numerous times but never stopped to investigate. Having visited Thunderbolt’s Cave last year this makes an interesting twin. | ||||
|
Little Bald Rock (Bald Rock National Park) |
21 May, 2023 |
Medium |
7.8km return 2 hrs |
|
| When I first climbed Little Bald Rock in 2017, I could not find the access points to the eastern face. This time around we worked it out from the top and marked the base point with a cairn. | ||||
|
Bungoona Walk (Bald Rock National Park) |
21 May, 2023 |
Medium |
5.4km return 90 mins |
|
| We have always climbed to the summit of Bald Rock via the main track and rock face, so to take the Bungoona Walk was an enjoyable alternative. Despite the campsite being full, we were the only ones to brave the cold and see the sunset from the summit. | ||||

Bald Rock Summit (Bald Rock National Park) |

Kinaba Track (Great Sandy National Park) |
2 Apr, 2023 |
Easy |
12.6km return 4 hrs |
|
| This was a long slog on a hot day, with very little of interest along the way. The reward was the Information Centre on the side of Lake Cootharaba and a welcome breeze on the top deck to eat my lunch. | ||||

Mill Point (Great Sandy National Park) |

Boulder Mountain (Woondum National Park) |
22 Jan, 2023 |
Hard |
3.2km return 2.5 hrs |
|
| We started on cool early morning yet were dripping sweat by the time we got to the top. Can’t say there was any ‘reward’ at the top as the tree line obscures your view but was certainly a challenge and a great training exercise. | ||||
