Hikers in the Warrumbungle National Park

Warrumbungle Summits

$2295

The name ‘Warrumbungle’ is a Gamilaroi word meaning crooked mountains. Created over millions of years from an extinct shield volcano, the jagged volcanic silhouette of the Warrumbungles rises sharply from eucalypt-dotted ridges amid surrounding plains. Free from artificial light, the Warrumbungle National Park, is Australia’s first Dark Sky Park and on clear nights you will encounter the starriest of skies. This is the backdrop of our exclusive new adventure.

On this trip we take in all the Park has to offer including hikes to the summit of Mt Bluff, Mt Exmouth, Lugh’s Throne, Belougery Split Rock and famous Breadknife Gap which offer close up views of the park’s iconic rock formations. Our trip concludes at the lesser known Pilliga National Park where we undertake a stunning short walk on the Sandstone Cave walking track.

This trip is not to be missed. We hope you can join us.

Six Foot Track in Comfort

The Six Foot Track is one of Australia’s most iconic and well-known trails.

Originally built as a bridle trail to shorten the journey to Jenolan Caves, which was growing in popularity as a tourist attraction during the mid and late nineteenth century. Prior to its creation the journey to the caves from Sydney was a long one, via rail and a lengthy horse ride from the nearest railway station at Tarana (between Lithgow and Bathurst). In 1884 a new horse track from Katoomba across the Coxs River was marked out and constructed to be six feet wide in order that two loaded horse-drawn carts could pass each other. In time, with the growth in motor vehicle ownership, this route to Jenolan Caves was replaced.

For walkers, the Six Foot Track remains an enjoyable multi day 45 kilometre journey through a mix of dense native bushland, towering sandstone cliffs, granite creek beds, open farmland, pine forests and the unique limestone geology of Jenolan.
