Welcome to the Byron Hikers Club

The Crags, also known as the Devil's Teeth are two pinnacles of rock half way up the side of the Basin and together with Gracie's Crag give the only views of the Basin. First we visit Protestors Falls and then enter the Basin next to the picnic area. After several creek crossings and several kms on an old logging track we skirt around the women's Circle pool and bush bash to the first Crag with a safe scramble to the top and the views. Phil and I cleared this track more than a year ago so bring willingness to help out again. Long sleeves, long pants  Grade 4, leader Steve 0414312917

Join us for a varied and rewarding day exploring two beautiful walks in Nightcap National Park, combining lush rainforest, diverse vegetation, scenic trails and the spectacular Minyon Falls. We’ll meet at Rummery Park Campground and begin with the Byan Yangala Loop (6.6 km), part of the Gidjuum Gulganyi Great Walk. We’ll enjoy the changing vegetation and forest scenery along the track, stopping for morning tea along the way before returning to Rummery Park. Next, we’ll set off along the Boggy Creek Loop (5.5 km), heading towards the impressive Minyon Falls before returning via the Eastern Boundary Trail. Combining these two walks offers a wonderful variety of landscapes and a chance to experience more of this special national park. Prefer a shorter outing? There’s the option to walk just the Byan Yangala Loop and finish back at Rummery Park. Wet-weather alternative: If recent heavy rain leaves the tracks too muddy or slippery, we’ll have a backup plan for a more manageable walk nearby, walking to a beautiful rainforest creek.

  The long Booyong walking track follows a historic trail through lush rainforest offering wildlife and birdwatching, in Border Ranges National Park in northern NSW. If you love oxygen-rich rainforests, join us on the Booyong walking track from Forest Tops campground to  Sheepstation Creek campground. This 9km long walk is a perfect introduction to the lush world of Border Ranges National Park in northern NSW. Retracing the historic steps of the old loggers, you’ll pass thick forests of majestic Booyong trees. Look for the birds nest ferns and lilies that grow from the old stumps; a reminder of nature’s ability to restore and reclaim. The dense canopy makes this a great place for birdwatching, so bring your binoculars. Here, you might see the regent bowerbird or the vibrant green catbird with its mournful call. If you’re lucky, you might get a glimpse of the Rufous Scrub-bird found only in these rainforests. We will arrive on Friday night at Sheepstation Creek Campsite and in the morning will arrange a car shuffle to the Forest Tops campsite where we will begin the Booyong walk. It is a 9km long walk so make sure you are ready for this. That evening we will camp again at Sheepstation Creek, and for those who have time in the morning, we will explore the three smaller walks that begin there - Brushbox Falls, Rosewood and Palm Forest. if we are that keen! Camping fees apply. Please book camp sites with NSW National Parks here https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/camping-and-accommodation/campgrounds/sheepstation-creek-campground.
