Nadgee Howe Wilderness is one of only 12 World Biosphere Reserves in Australia and is the most natural area left remaining on NSW's eastern coast. At this time of year the annual migration of 45,000 whales up the coast is in full swing and we should get multiple sightings especially from headlands. Also the Nadgee area with a June temperature range of 7 to 15 celsius is warmer than bushwalking options around Canberra and inland NSW at this time of year.
The trip is 63 km and we will walk it from North to South which means the sun in behind us and not in our eyes.
We will leave Canberra around 8.30 am and leave our cars at Womboyn. We will then walk 6 km to camp at the Merrica River Entrance.
Friday night camp is Newtons Beach. Saturday night camp is Nadgee Beach. Sunday night camp is lake Barracoota. On Monday we walk to the Wallagaraugh River and take a ferry to Mallacoota then a van back to our cars at Wonboyn beach then drive back to Canberra that afternoon/ evening.
