New walkers are always welcome! Our walks are generally pretty leisurely taking time to spot birds, plants, spiders etc
Walkers are reminded to bring along enough food and water for the entire day as well as suitable clothing, footwear, hat and sunscreen. A pair of good binoculars and a fold up chair for the post- walk cuppa is recommended.
Walkers are insured through NSW National Parks Association and contact details are collected and forwarded to NPA head office, to meet insurance requirements. NPA expects people who will be regular walkers to be NPA members
