consumption) 7pm for about 45 mins. Or so. Continue videos/pix until later in
the evening. With Covid restrictions relaxed, some of us were able to travel
overseas in 2022. This is a chance to share your experiences. If you didn't get
 away, don't fret, you can still show something from an Australian trip, or
imagery from the distant past. For the past couple of years there has been
plenty to watch, so we'll have to adhere to a strict time limit - 20 mins. (or
about 80 photos). The images will be viewed on a large flat-screen TV, so
horizontal (landscape) format photos would be more appropriate. There will be a
 sound system for videos. All videos/images to be given to Jeff in a USB thumb-
drive on the night. (For those folk who have Apple devices with their own
formats which may pose compatibility issues, I suggest you bring your own
laptop, which can be used later in the evening.) With no restrictions on
numbers, there is no need to say you are coming, but if you are showing
imagery, please let Jeff know beforehand, to assist with organising the evening.

taking in Orange, Molong, Cargo, Cowra, Lyndhurst, Carcoar & Millthorpe.

Day event

Description: On previous walks we have covered the western forested part of
Disaster Bay but following the 2019-20 bushfire there is now a limited
opportunity to cover the eastern parts nearer
Greencape while the heath is still low and not too prickly. The scenery is even
 more spectacular in this area and we will do a number of side trip to cliff-
top vantage points. The plan is to do a short car shuffle to enable a mostly
one way loop walk which involves several short off-track sections,
rocky headlands, 4WD tracks and rehabilitated fire trails. Gaiters/long pants
are an advantage in a few scrubby sections. There are swimming possibilities at
 morning tea and lunch. Parking is limited so we will car pool at Pambula. The
Greencape Road is currently in good condition, suitable for 2WD vehicles. Easy
•on trail sections for over half of the walk.

A lovely walk to the spectacular western fall of the main range. It is mainly
very straight forward, however, there are some steep sections that are off
track, and one short but very exposed section of rock scrambling ( you need a
head for heights). The ROCK SCRAMBLING PART IS COMPLETELY VOLUNTARY, for those
who do not wish to do it, it will not detract from the walk in any way.
It is a great walk !! Not to be missed !!

Half of the walk is without a track, but not hard at all. Close to Charlotte
Pass, on 2000 metre plus wide ridge line. We will locate remains of some old

•views of the main range and Thredbo Valley.

hopefully it’s sorted itself out. The gorge itself is accessible regardless of
the re-growth if we have to change things. Don’t be put off by the bouldering

1 September to 3 September - Annual Snowshoeing Extravaganza!  NB Changed Dates!  PHOTOS
Base Camp
Walk Coordinator: Jo Thorpe
Meet: TBA 
Grade: Easy
Distance: 4-5 km
Description: We’re on again! The aim this year is to get away from Perisher
(depending on snow and weather) e.g. Cascades, Deadhorse Gap, Guthega. We are
also going mid-week this year to avoid crazy weekend traffic & crowds + make it easier to get accommodation. Expect an early drive up to start point to get a park.
Put simply, if you’re a bushwalker, you can snowshoe. The only special gear you
 need, is snowshoes (which you can hire) and some waterproof gloves (of which
Jo has thousands of pairs!). Other than that, you just need your usual winter
bushwalking gear (boots, rainjacket/pants, warm layers and a beanie…gaiters if
you’ve got them). Bring a stove/thermos for tea/coffee/hot chocolate/noodles/
cupasoup for lunch.
Pre-walk nibblies/dinner on the Saturday night at Jo’s house at Lake
Crackenback Resort (please bring something to share) from 5pm. Book your own
accommodation depending on your preference but you can do it as a daytrip if
you’re happy to drive. Best to stay in Jindabyne because the starting point is
yet to be determined.
PLEASE NOTE: BOOK ACCOMMODATION ASAP (i.e. now if you can), especially if you want to van it or find something affordable.  Last year, people got into the
Dalgety Pub last minute but that’s a bit of a drive with an early start. If
you’ve got any questions, just call me. But because I’m overseas
 until mid-April, you could try ringing Eric or Di Moon who’ve been coming
every year and know the guff.
