Nadgee Howe Wilderness 5 day Walk (63km)
Fri 04th Oct 2024
Walk, Back-pack
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 down the coast is in full swing and we should get multiple sightings especially from headlands.
The trip is 63 km and we will walk it from North to South which means the sun is behind us.
We will leave Canberra around 12.00 pm on the Friday and stay the night at accomodation near Wonboyn. On Saturday we will leave our cars at the North end of Wonboyn Beach and walk south (some off track) to camp at the Merrica River Entrance.
Sunday night camp is Little River. Monday night camp is Nadgee Lake. Tuesday night camp is Lake Wau Wauka or Lake Barracoota. On Wednesday we walk to the Wallagaraugh River and take a ferry across to Mallacoota then a van back to our cars at Wonboyn beach then drive back to Canberra that evening.
Water options are variable so may need to carry up to 4 litres for parts of some days depending on when it last rained.
