A mini adventure off the Wish List

CENTRAL WEST, NSW – 26 October 2025
We were out in the Lithgow/Oberon area for the MSS 60th Anniversary Celebration for the weekend.  On Saturday we checked out the Lost City ½ day walk, so I thought “why waste a Sunday” and decided that we’d do a short walk to check out another ½ day walk, Slavens Cave. As most of you know, I rarely get out of bed for a day walk, so driving that far for a ½ day walk was just not even conceivable.  But, we were only 30 minutes away so, the trip was ON.

NEWNES PLATEAU – 25 October 2026
Yes, it’s been a while since I last posted, August 10 in fact, but I’m baaack!!!  Had a bit of a fall whilst doing some SRT training back in at the end of August and it took a long time for me to recover even though it was only soft tissue damage – my sons want me to reassess my life choices and cut out the more adventurous activities LOL.  So, to get back on the horse I selected a very civilised 1/2 day walk to the Lost City!

GOULBURN RIVER NP – 9-10 August 2025
After almost a week of rain (and more forecast up and down the coast), Trish M and I decided that the walk I’d planned in the Mangrove Creek area (Plan A) wasn’t an option and we’d consider looking for a walk further inland … we’re all over the weeks of rain we’ve all endured.  So, we settled on Goulburn River NP (Plan B) where years ago I’d found a  “beautiful creek that needed to be explored”.  So, we set the wheels in motion.

WOMBEYAN – 14-15 June 2025
A year or more ago, I did some cave cleaning work down at Yarrangobilly.  I really enjoyed it (how sad is that), it was very satisfying to see cave formations that had mud on them be restored to their natural beauty just with a little water, vacuuming or a gentle scrubbing.  So, when I found a cave at Wombeyan that needed a little love and care, I was excited to give it a go – after all when I get too old to do regular caving, this may be what I CAN do!
