We will hike from Clarrie Hall Dam back to Wilsons Creek via a ridge running south. We will divert to a number interesting features like the special Nundah Rocks, east down to Rolands Creek, up Clypot Rd and then past Hell Hole Falls to camp near the new mulit-day camp site. This trail has been completed up to Rockface Rd with over 150 sandstone steps that have been helicoptered in to gaps in the forest. After we climb to Rockface Rd our path descends into the Rockslide that many members have visited in the headwater of the Wilsons River. Then it is an exciting scramble up to the Koonyum ridge that overlooks MainArm. The route follows this ridge until we get to the eastern-most peak, "656" with its views over the whole Tweed Valley. Our second camp is on a small creek on the way down to the Koonyum Gap. On day 3 we cross the Gap and scramble up to the end of Koonyum Range Rd and take an off-track route past the 'Bum Crack', along Nandaly Rd, out to the 'Picnic Ponit' that looks across Upper Wilsons to Blackbut Plateau, before going along under the cliff line that leads to Callicoma Track. We stop at the top of the Caliicoma waterfall before dropping through the rain forest to finish at a property in Wilsons Creek.  Grade 3 with a couple of steep off-track sections.

Hiking along a trail from Clarrie Hall Dam to Nundah Rocks and descending to Rolands Creek, day hikers will be joining six 3-day hikers going through to Wilsons Creek. Partly a ridge-top walk, the route also includes rain forest. We pass the special feature of Nundah Rocks before a steep descent into Rolands Creek and then we ascend Claypot Rd to Middle Ridge Rd. This day walk ends at the Middle Ridge Rd carpark that people use to access Hell Hole Falls. About 12 km of trails with an option to visit Hell Hole Falls, depending on available time. Grade 3, meeting in Mullumbimby at 7am for a car shuffle. Leader Steve  0414 312 917

Bridget sustained a knee injury in the second half of the walk. Walter also was struggling as I guided them back to Rummery Park, arriving at 7.30pm. Just as well that I had a head torch. Not likely to be an insurance claim. The Postman's or the Nightcap Historic Track is a remarkable walk with multiple ecosystems, massive trees, wildlife and breath-taking views of the Mount Warning caldera, including stunning views of Wollumbin (Mount Warning). The easterly route starts at Mount Nardi which stands at about 792m, it’s not quite all downhill from there, but we end up at Rummery Park 369m. In the middle there is the Nightcap Bluff which stands at 829m and the amazing Dirangah Rocks (eroded volcanic vents) and great views of the Tweed Valley from the teatree lookout halfway. 19km and Grade 4, we will do this as a keyswap where half the group will drive from Rummery Park to Mt Nardi while the other group starts walking from the Campground. We swap car keys when we cross paths and then all meet back at Rummery Park. Leaders Steve 0414 312 917 and Nicole 0417 217 092

This year we will host our tranquil moonlight walk on the night of the winter solstice.  Let’s walk under the light of the moon and bathe in the forest at nighttime – it feels like another world. We will gather at Goonengerry National Park, walk along an open trail without artificial light, spend 20 minutes at a sit spot, and then find our way through the forest to the waterfall to view Wanganui Gorge in full moonlight. We can finish with a hot cuppa. Grade 3 About 5 km 2-3 hours. You will need a headlamp, preferably a red light one for low light, and something to sit on.

Starting at Mrs Birdy (after coffee if you arrive early) we walk west through South Golden Beach to the start of the Optus track which descends through Eucalypt woodland and Melaleuca wetlands to the beach. We then walk south along the beach, possibly with a swim en route, back to Mrs Birdy for lunch or a snack if the mood takes us. The walk is about 7km's with some uneven surfaces and probably some creek crossings which will result in wet feet, old sand shoes or sandles are a good option. The walk is grade 2 or 3 and should be easy for most people. It's a beautiful, half day, loop. Bring, shoes that you don;t mind getting wet, drnking water, hat etc. and swimmers.
