This is part 1 of a 2 part adventure in the Snowies, combining Easter Holidays with Anzac day do one or both up to you! Round Mountain Hut walking track winds through the Jagungal Wilderness Area in central Kosciuszko National Park. A great Snowy Mountains walk, it offers view and spring wildflowers on its way to the rustic hut. Enjoy the exquisite scenery and fascinating alpine heritage along Round Mountain Hut walking track. Starting from the signposted trackhead off Swampy Plains Road, this short summer Snowy Mountains walk takes you through a beautiful subalpine habitat into Jagungal Wilderness Area. The corrugated iron hut boasts historic remnants from yesteryear and makes a scenic spot for a picnic, before you head back along the same track. If you’re walking between April and October, take a good look at the olive-barked black sallee trees – their star-shaped clusters of flower buds are simply beautiful. This 4 day walk is for experienced walkers only starting at the head of Round Mountain Trail walk to Deschkos Hut and camp overnight, then on to Valentines hut the cutest hut in Kosciusko National Park...

I really feel like climbing to Mount Everest Base Camp. How about you? Everest is more than a mountain and the journey to its base camp is more than just a trek. Along a route dubbed by some as "the steps to heaven," every bend in the trail provides another photo opportunity — beautiful forests, Sherpa villages, glacial moraines, and foothills. For active adventurers not afraid to break a sweat, the qualified, full support staff who will accompany us on this trek will bring you close to local cultures before opening a window to the top of the world! This is an organised tour through G Adventures and yes, there will be porters and we will stay in Tea Houses each night!

Hello All I will be part of the 2019 OXFAM 100KM if you want to support my team: https://trailwalker.oxfam.org.au/my/team/33959 This hike is classifed as medium (due to elevation 1400 m)and the distance (20km)Following well-maintained bush tracks and service trails, this walk descends into the Royal NationalPark, to a spectacular set of pools and cascading falls on South Western Creek. The Royal National Park Information Centre (audley), is 1/3 of this walk and is a great spot for a quick break before continuing to the falls. From Winifred Falls we will keep going on a track to bundeena. In bundeena we will decide if we have time to get a slice of this wedding cake :) before catching the ferry to Cronula (you will need cash to catch it $6.70) By RSVP to this meetup you agree to and are bound by terms and conditions of Sydney Explorers which can be found here ( http://www.meetup.com/Sydney-Explorers/pages/Terms_and_conditions_of_Joining_Sydney_Explorers/ ) Sydney Explorers its organisers and leaders accept no liability during this meetup, leaders try to ensure the safety and well being of members at all times however as this is a weekend away travelling, exploring different areas and hiking in the great outdoors accidents happen, please take responsibility for your own safety and your belongings.

Beautiful coastal walk exploring the beaches and coves of North Sydney distance is 33km there are some short climbs/hills involved. 1 heartbreak hill up to a lookout point but optional... Average walking pace about 5km per hour so medium walking pace, however as this is 33km need to keep it up the whole way, opt out points along the way. Start Palm Beach and head up over the headland to Whale Beach, Avalon Beach, Bilgola Beach on through Mona Vale along Newport and down into Narrabeen into Dee Why Curl Curl and finally into Manly for a cold beer! 33km Give or take a couple... Make sure you have plenty of snacks think carbs/sugar as protein takes too long to process. Do not skip salt... Your body requires energy to complete longer walks... Trainers are ok but bring a jacket in case of a change of weather and 2l of water, plenty of places to top up along the way, no food/coffee stops along the way though! Plenty of opt out points along the way, stops are short 5min for water/loo stops with a longer stop for lunch.
