 |August 13,14,15|The spiritual home of bushwalkers is believed to be in the Blue Mountains somewhere around Cloudmaker and Guouogang. Guouogang at 4,232 ft is the highest thereabouts, and its Nooroo Buttress has the greatest drop - over 3,000 ft. Dot Noble is going up the Gasper Buttress ('tisn't hard to guess the origin of the name) and down Nooroo, and to get ready for all this she will jog down Breakfast Creek on Friday night. A walk that should not be missed by young or old.| |August 13,14,15|The spiritual home of bushwalkers is believed to be in the Blue Mountains somewhere around Cloudmaker and Guouogang.

-*August 15|Jack Gentle's Test Walk is a tour of the Heathcote Primitive Area and takes in two of the highest points, Woronora Trig and Scouter's Mountain. The bushland should be looking its best at this time of year.| +|*August 15|Jack Gentle's Test Walk is a tour of the Heathcote Primitive Area and takes in two of the highest points, Woronora Trig and Scouter's Mountain.

-*August 20,21,22|The walk on Saturday is mainly along a fairly narrow range for about 10 miles. There are a few changes of direction, but the golden rule for steering down the Gingra is not to turn your back on Ti-Willa. The Gingra Range, losing height as it goes and having the higher Gangerangs on one side and the Broken Rock and the Colong Maze across the Kowmung on the other, provides changing scenery all the way. A lush campsite on Saturday and on Sunday a wander up one of the prettiest creeks in the mountains. Alan Round is the leader.|+|*August 20,21,22|The walk on Saturday is mainly along a fairly narrow range for about 10 miles.

 |August 20,21,22|A tour of all the places with the enticing names around the head of the Cudgegong River, east of Rylstone. Interesting navigation from one patch of volcanic soil to another, not least of all the elusive Pinchgut, and a peak-bagging weekend that should quell the ardour of the keenest.| |August 20,21,22|A tour of all the places with the enticing names around the head of the Cudgegong River, east of Rylstone.
