Warrumbungles, Mount Kaputar and Yuraygir Coastal Walk, NSW - (NOW FULL)
Tue 05th Oct 2021
Expressions of Interest have now closed for a two week trip combining car camping and pack walking. The first week will be spent car camping and doing day walks from Camp Wambelong, Warrumbungle National Park. From there we drive NE to Mount Kaputar National Park for a further 2 days of walks basing ourselves at Bark Hut Campground. One of the walks planned in Mount Kaputar is an overnight walk to Scutts Hut & Kurrawonga Falls which is graded as quite difficult so some may prefer to do some of the many day walks from Bark Hut Campground instead. Water would need to be carried for the Scutts Hut overnight walk. From Mt Kaputar on Day 9 we drive NE (6.5 hours) to Yamba for resupply and cleanup in preparation for the 4 day Yuraygir Coastal Walk. Day 10 will be a free day for some while the drivers reposition the cars 65 km south to Red Rock where we finish the Yuraygir Coastal Walk on Day 14. We spend our last night at Corindi (Red Rock) in nice cabins then drive back to Canberra the next day either via Pacific Highway (8 hrs 50 mins) or via Newell Highway (11 hrs + with an overnighter somewhere - probably Dubbo but your choice). This trip is scheduled to begin after the NSW/ACT school holidays in spring so we get (hopefully) good weather, no crowds and wonderful spring flowers.

Accommodation Information
Tents for Warrumbungle and Mt Kaputar National Park. This will be followed by 2 nights in cabins at Yamba to prepare for the Yuraygir Coastal Walk and 1 night at Corindi at the end of the Coastal Walk before the drive home. You may wish to break the drive home up if you go via 2 days but that's up to you and your driver/passengers. Camping fees will apply. Please don't make any bookings yourself as this will be coordinated by the leader. It's likely that Trip Intention Forms etc will need to be completed for one walk so it's best if only one person does all the paperwork, bookings etc. We'll all have a meeting beforehand to discuss though and answer any questions.
