Gibraltar Range - Washpool World Heritage Walk
GIBRALTAR RANGE-WASHPOOL NP, NORTHERN NSW (Q) Virus willing, in October. This World Heritage Walk comprises a four day circuit walk around a high plateau amongst areas of granite outcrops, heathland, tall eucalypt forest, rainforest with rare red cedars and tree ferns, and prolific spring flowers including waratahs (not all areas have been burnt). The main track is approx 50 kms with another 50 kms of side-tracks. Some of the side trips can be done as extra day walks (I've allowed two to three extra days for these in order to keep each day of the pack day walk at a moderate length). You will need an extra day or two at each end to drive from Canberra to Mulligans Hut campsite and return. Bush camping and camping beside cars, $6 pp/pn. NP entry is $8 per vehicle pd, or an annual parks pass. LEADER: MEG MCKONE frankmckone@optusnet.com.au 6254 5902 (H) TRANSPORT: $LOTS ** Note: This Trip also appears on the Walks Program of - Coast and Mountain Walkers of NSW. THIS TRIP IS NOW FULL, WITH A WAITLIST.
