We are fortunate to have so many different destinations for walking in New South Wales and so close. For most of us the Australian Bush is really not very far away.
My Track Notes contain details of walks I have found interesting. I update them when I can find the time. They are based on the conditions when I did the walk and may have changed since.
I've listed my recent walks below.
Where I have written Track Notes, you can read them by clicking on the link. Alternatively you can select the Track Notes from the top-level drop-down Track Notes Menu.
