Party: Yumi, Owen, Nuria and Felix (photos by Owen, Nuria and Felix) SUBW trip details: I had never really done much walking on Narrow Neck. For sure I’d been down the Golden Stairs on long forgotten trips, but I’d never really even walked the full length (that I can recall) – unless you included the painful … Continue reading
Date: 21-23/08/2015 Party: Ankit, Dave, Grant, Marty, Peter, Kosta The weather forecast wasn’t very promising with both the Bureau as well as the Norwegians predicting a mixed bag on Saturday and sure rain on Sunday. This brought back memories of a previous trip in the area and left me with only a small hope of … Continue reading

Party: Jeremy Platt, Tom Morris and Bjorn Sturmberg A little while ago Tom and Jeremy got together and decided to go on an epic. They each have a tried and tested ability for turning trips into epics, so thought they should combine these skills for one almighty trip before Tom buggers off to Franceland. The chosen … Continue reading

Sierra thinks she is the only female, but then come two more down the road from the toilets, so it’s alright. Kevin of the Bankstown Bushwalkers starts chatting with us. … Continue reading
Party: Emma Spencer and Tim Vollmer My first trip with the Sydney University Bushwalkers (SUBW) was an overnight amble to and from the Colo River. It was a 6km on-track bushwalk and thus it provided scant chance to appreciate the remoteness and the roughness of the surrounding country. Still, as I gazed up at the … Continue reading
Party: December 26 and 27: Jonno Downes and Emma Spencer. December 27 to 30: Emma Spencer Having already completed a few easy solo walks over the past year or so, and with a bit of free time over the Christmas break, I was keen to get out on something a little bit more challenging. I had never … Continue reading
Below are a series of photographs taken on a recent bushwalk to the Ruined Castle.

They were led by Philip Hammon, who not only co-authored the most authoritative book on the … Continue reading
Party: Sierra Classen, Tully Bromwich, Amanda Zhou, Hossein Dinani, Dom Holmes, Atoosa Azizi, Nippy Bhattarai, Lilian Castillo, Joan Chan and Tim Vollmer – Trip report by Sierra Classen: I am probably the wrong person to write this trip report, the wrong person to write trip reports in general. I feel like they require capabilities of scientific observation that I do not have. Nevertheless, someone has to … Continue reading
Party: Tom Murtagh, Emma Spencer, Helen Smith, Iza Spaleniak, Jiri Svec and Tim Vollmer – Trip report by Tom Murtagh: Been wanting to get to the Gangerang Plateau for ages. All indications were that the area around the base of Cloudmaker is a wonderful mess of open scrub between assorted hillocks, and (more to the point) several decent-sized caves … Continue reading
