A local favourite

Named after an 1850s sea captain, Narooma’s Ringlands Walking Track hugs the southern shoreline of Wagonga Inlet. It passes through attractive forest and some remnant rainforest, and is an enjoyable local walk for the club.

De-stressing with nature

Creeks offer quiet places to explore or to just sit and relax; to enjoy the sights, smells and feel of the bush near a creek.

Narooma's famous Glasshouse Rocks

The club recently had a geological excursion along the coastline just south of Narooma to examine the intriguing rock formations.

Patterns in nature

What we see when out walking never ceases to amaze, with cracks, spirals, waves, meanders and stripes. Taking time to enjoy the patterns of nature is one of the many pleasures of bushwalking.
