Parramatta Exploration Group

Here's a great opportunity for new members and others that want to enjoy a beautiful day in the mountains with a bit of a challenge but not to hard, just a great adventure with friends. Occasional climbs, nothing too serious, just like me.
Spectacular views, hidden wonders, waterfalls and a chance to get your feet wet.

Time for great coffee and delicious treats at the bakery before we depart around 10:15.a.m.
We begin our adventures with a local bus (10:18) or carpool to the Conservation Hut.
Put the brakes on for the long descent down to Queen Victoria Lookout to check the dicky knees. Everything in order?. The Overcliff Track is spectacular with views as far as the eye can see. Should have went to Specsavers.

We link up with the Undercliff Track somewhere along the way as we traverse below the cliff face with more of those Specsaver views. If you're really good I'll take you to a place that I haven't taken anyone else before.(well, not many anyway)
Cascades, waterfalls and a truely remarkable descent that will take your breath away, not from the effort but from the unbelievable beauty that you behold. Unforgettable just like me.

An easy stroll brings us to Wentworth Falls. Time to explore, take a short detour then check out Weeping Rock, a spectacular sight and photo opportunity. Selfies if you're that way inclined.
Just a short climb to Wentworth Falls Car Park then a pleasant amble along the Shortcut Track to whence we began. About three and a half, maybe four hours of exploring and taking in this beautiful environment that should be around 10 klms all up. That's it for now, see you next time.

If you have something nice to say buzz me on 0451483009 and I'll be all ears.

GRATUITY: If your feeling generous and would like to donate to a good cause then $5 for my charming company and expertise wouldn't go astray.

DISCLAIMER: Because they're trying to avoid law suits in case you injure yourself or die trying, I thought I would cover myself and declare that I'm not responsible for your safety and well-being, just in case you're suicidal. B.Y.O. first aid kit.

P.S. Will include some photos from a previous trip when I finally get back home. Late lunch at the Lapstone Hotel.

Since I'm in Sydney I may as well take advantage of the situation and indulge myself in the beauty of the Auburn Japanese Botanical Gardens. Who knows when I'll be back.

Let's get out and enjoy the colours of autumn in a beautiful location then partake of delicious food over lunch with a relaxing creek stroll thrown in as well.
A short walk to Mona Street Park is where we start a leisurely stroll along Duck River to Auburn Botanical Gardens, home to the Cherry Blossom Festival and many native plants and animals and of cause the famous Japanese Gardens with it's myriad of colour.

After an hour or two exploring the gardens we go around the corner to Auburn Tennis Club for a delicious lunch and drinks (coffee or something more soothing)

With lunch to keep up our strength we continue to explore the other side of the river on bush tracks back to Granville for bus or train home.

A beautiful autumn day out suitable for everybody with plenty to keep you occupied. Don't forget the camera and some cash for lunch and $7 admission to the gardens.(swipe card only,no dirty money)

P.S. If your driving, park in the big car park next to the bus interchange at Granville Station, then join me at El Sweetie.

P.P.S. If you don't know where your going buzz me on 0451483009, otherwise congratulations.

GRATUITY: Due to the admission fees to the Gardens I thought it would be a bit rude to impose any more costs upon anybody. Save your money for lunch at the Club afterwards.

DISCLAIMER: I couldn't imagine anyone sustaining any form of injuries on our stroll, but just in case something should crop up I'll remain anonymous. All care but no responsibility and so forth.

Will include some photos I took on a previous visit to the Gardens.

Get in early and grab a spare room or car camp in the backyard. Plenty of other options available.
