Participants: Stephen Davies (Photos, Report), Sue Davies

With rain forecast for later in the day we were packed up and walking around 8:00am. Starting from the picnic area near Troy Walls Lookout we headed west for several hundred metres before turning north as the track heads sharply downhill towards Bungonia Gorge following Bretons Creek. This is a very scenic descent at this time of the year with plenty of flowering plants in full bloom. A very impressive stand of grass trees is found about half way down creating an impressive foreground for the view to the west of the cliffs towards Adams Lookout.

After our Clyde River (Morton National Park) exploration trip was cut short by two days we decided yesterday afternoon to head up to Bungonia National Park for three days before some expected rain was due by the weekend. One day at home was more than enough turnaround time.

                                        Gundungurra country

Participants: Mel Adern (Leader), Stephen Davies (Photos), Sue Davies (Report), Kylie Falconer, Frank Mathey

This varied and enjoyable day walk to Bonnum Pic culminates in a spectacular knife edge ridge. There are expansive scenic valley views, interesting geology and some rock scrambling. It is recommended for the cooler months as there is no reliable water supply. However, it would be best not to attempt it when there is a severe weather warning for damaging winds!

Day 1: 7/07/2012   Long Point – Shoalhaven River – Bungonia Creek

So you thought it would be too cold? A pleasant 10 degrees outside and 22 inside Steve and Sue’s (trip leader) Davies car as we wound our way up Jamberoo Pass. Ninety minutes later the three of us climbed out into a crisp 5 degrees at the Long Point car park.
