If possible, book one of the marked sites below. One Car per Site.

I thought it would be nice if we could all camp together. But feel free to book a tent-only site.

 

Sites A, B, C, J, H, F, K, I, G, E, D

We can fit 2 tents per site.

The sites are compact dirt, we need good pegs. It is the same on the tents-only sites.

 

 

On Friday we drive all the cars to Saltwater Creek. Drop cars off there and drive on to Boyds Tower for the start of the walk.

 

The walk back to Saltwater Creek is13.2km. It would be good to leave some cars at saltwater creek overnight so we don't have to do the same lengthy car drop the next day.

 

On Saturday we drive to Green Cape for the walk back to Saltwater Creek. 17.8 km, with a stop at our camp to pick up lunch and whatever else we need for the rest of the walk.

 

Sunday is optional: drive home or join us on the following adventures:

 

Exploration walk to City Rock (of the Green Cape Rd), approx 4 km return grade 3

 

Pinnacle loop near Eden, approx 1.1km grade 3     https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do/walking-tracks/pinnacles-loop-walking-track
