BLUE MOUNTAINS NP – 3-4 June 2025
Mt Hay Road > Rocklily Ridge > Flat Top Brook > Urella Ridge – I’d always wanted to investigate Rocklily Ridge so when Nicole B suggested a trip out on the ridge to check out an interesting geological formation, I was in!  John G, Trish M, Jim C and Matt O’K joined Nicole and me.

An Absolutely Decadent Walk – I could get used to this!

TASMANIA – 3 CAPES WALK – 30 May – 2 June 2025
My caving friend Beth and I had been talking about doing a walk together for many years. We eventually decided that the 3 Capes Walk sounded good, but even better sounding was the glamping trip – not having to carry a tent or sleeping bag or food for 4 days AND we’d get wine at the end of the day.  Beth had me at “wine at the end of the day”, I was fully on board.

HOBART – 28-29 May 2025
When planning the upcoming Three Capes Walk, I envisaged a sold training regime.  Well, that lasted for about a month.

CENTRAL WEST – 16-17 May 2025
So, what’s a “dig”.  It’s when you find a small potential cave and after examination, you determine that if you dig out some dirt or a few rocks, the cave might “go”.  Back in the 70s and 80s this was a great pastime for cavers, but these days a dig can only occur on private property and with the approval of the landowner.  We’d come across a potential dig and this weekend Rod, John, Trish and I were going to check it out.

The Lost City

BLUE MOUNTAINS – 16 May 2025
I’ve known about the Lost City area of the Gardens of Stone NP for many years now but never visited it.  NPs have now taken this area and created a tourist destination with a good walking track and parking.  Trish and I had a couple of hours on our way to Oberon so thought we’d check it out (and cross another walk off my wish list).
