This is a favourite walk from Sharpe's Beach along the coast, past Boulder Beach, Pat Morton Lookout, the famous Lennox Head surf break and then a cafe break in Lennox village. We will return at an easy pace, or if you only want to walk one way you can discuss setting up a car shuffle. It is Lennox Festival on Saturday so Lennox   will be alive with stallsmusic and food. You may want to stay longer! We can work out what people would like to do on the day. Grade 2 with a couple of small steep bits.

A beautiful walk up the side of the Wanganui/ Coopers creek valley to the top of the waterfall and the entrance to Lost Valley. From there we rock hop and scramble through untouched rainforest to the base of Lyrebird falls. We retrace our steps to get home. Swimming opportunities, bring your bathers. Not for the faint hearted. Mostly off track with some navigation required. Bring lunch, water and leaches may be plentiful. A stunningly beautiful walk on many levels.

Saturday night camping after our 19km hike between Mt Nardi and the Rummery campground relaxing around the camp fire. We will do a short walk on Sunday morning for those who want to loosen up from Saturday- or just chill out in this favourite campground.

We have reluctantly decided to postpone the planned Postman's Track hike until Saturday July 6 due to the incessant showery weather. We will still meet at Rummery Park Campground this Saturday to hike up Peates Mtn Rd to the seldom visited Secret Chasm on the edge of the Wanganui Gorge. There is an amazing waterfall that will be cascading down one wall of the chasm in this weather, something I haven't seen for years. If the showers get us too wet, we can easily turn back. In contrast, once we were to begin the Postman's Track, we would be committed to finish it because the party coming from the other end cannot be contacted to turn back as well. The new date for the Postman's track will have camping options. Grade 3: Leaders Nicole 0417217092, Steve 0414312917

Friday night camping so we can be ready for the 8am start for the Postmans track.

This is a full day traversing between the end of the East Koonyum Range and the West Koonyum Range, ending in Upper Wilsons Creek.  After a steep descent we will be crossing above a huge landslide that runs down into Palmwoods. We take a safe path across the saddle. Then we scrub bash up to Point 656 which has sweeping views up to Tweed Heads and around to the Byron lighthouse and all over the Mainarm Valley. The hike then follows the ridgeline until we take a shortcut off the route of previous years, scrambling down a safe but very steep descent through the cliff-lines beside a spectacular rockslide that was created by last year's flood. The last hour is a gentle slope through giant rainforest trees into a private property in Upper Wilsons Creek. This is not a beginners hike, and preference will be given to Full Members.

Rocky Creek Dam circuit incorporating the Big Scrub loop. This is a fantastic and varied rainforest walk, most of it on tracks within Nightcap NP, with two creek crossings and calming lake views. The Big Scrub loop offers a feel of how it might have been before settlers with fig trees, giant stinging trees and yellow carabeen towering above and a delightful flowing creek to sit by. We will walk along part of Gibbergunyah Range Road (now a wide track) and then through a grove of the giant Eucalyptus grandis, “Flooded gum" on our return to the dam. We will walk in silence for periods, and I’ll offer a few nature connection activities along the way. We have time to chat beforehand and at the end when we relax by the lake with our tired legs for tea. The distance is about 9 km. Grade 3. Walk leader David Roland.
