            To get there:      1) Get on the M4 and head west.

2) Take the Mulgoa Road Exit (turn right at the traffic lights)

3) Maccas is approx 3 mins up the road, just passed the

    roundabout at the corner of Jamison Rd and Mulgoa Rd.

Place:  Wentworth Falls, Blue Mountains National Park

            (parking off Falls Road, Wentworth Falls)

Walks:  Overcliff/Undercliff/National Pass/Valley of the Waters

            Time: approx 4.5 hrs

             A description of some of the walks we’ll be doing: 

For superb Blue Mountains scenery, without going too far from civilization,           Wentworth Falls, Leura and Katoomba are the ideal spots.

For the fitter hikers, the 4km 4hr climb down National Pass and up through the Valley of the Waters (or vice-versa) is recommended, with a descent of approx. 200m. Many walkers, the author included, emerge looking done in. A few look like they're just getting warmed up.
