A week in Capertee Valley

The club’s Autumn camp was spent in the Capertee Valley area, north of Lithgow. A wonderful week was spent exploring and enjoying this dramatic landscape.

Tarourga Forest circuit

A recent walk looped for 12 kms up, down and around the forest of Tarourga in Bodalla State Forest. This attractive region west of Potato Point has a diverse eucalypt forest, with many tall trees and attractive ferns and fungi. 

Celebrating 40 years

In May 1986, a group of friends came together to have fun and explore the bush together. The first walk was along Bell Ridge fire trail, a disused mining and logging track. Forty years later, the club is still going strong, and still having fun in the bush. Thousands of photos but here’s just a few. 

Exploring Gulph Creek in Dampier State Forest

Gold was discovered in the valley of Gulph Creek in the 1860s and Nerrigundah briefly became the centre of a bustling mining community. The rugged terrain made mining difficult but today this area provides a delightful place to enjoy a winter walk and marvel at the ingenuity of those trying to find their fortune.
