This walk turned out to be much shorter than we would have liked as the National Pass Track was closed at the track junction at Slacks Stairs. Despite this closure, it would still provide us with the opportunity to introduce Pablo to some cliff walking in the Blue Mountains.

After driving up from the South Coast to Blackheath this morning we found ourselves enjoying an early lunch at Blackheath and contemplating our afternoon activities. Sue pulled out the March 6, Sydney Morning Herald Traveller section, which was subtitled “Think you know the Blue Mountains”. In this article, we noted that local photographer Gary Hayes had recommended Jinki Ridge as his favourite local walk.

Apparently daydreaming as we were heading west along Picton Road I managed to turn right onto the Hume Highway on our way to Picton! Not the best start. Anyway, we did find the drive back along Remembrance Drive to be rather scenic and more rural than we may have expected.

Having lost about half an hour on our detour we didn’t reach the carpark just south of Rockford Bridge until about 9:30am. Here a group of about ten 20 somethings were also just heading off towards Mermaids Pool, at least we had a nice fine day which would reach the mid 20’s temperature-wise.

Tuesday night was spent at the Boyd River campground to allow us to get an early start. Steve was dropped off at the Kanangra Walls Lookout where he was aiming to get an overnight star trail series. By just before dark he had managed to pitch his tent precariously, without pegs on a rock ledge near the cliff edge. Trish had driven up with us and stayed Tuesday night to drive our car back to Katoomba, all so we could avoid the long car drop after the walk – thanks heaps Trish!
