Bungleboori tributary, slots and ridges
This walk will start on a ridge SouthWest of Ethereal Canyon. After a short car shuttle, we will walk 3km along a fire trail before heading off-track down to the creek below Ethereal Canyon. From there we will follow an impressive slot up on to a ridge to the East. After exploring nearby pagodas we will follow the ridge North to the Waratah Ridge car park. It should be a fairly short walk. Mostly off-track with a few scrubby sections and some rock scrambling.

4 - Creek -
Creek Walk Upper Hat Hill Creek
Our walk begins on the S side of Hat Hill Creek Blackheath and takes us on a pleasant walk through bushland to upper Hat Hill Creek. Following a rough track, we descend to the creek then begin climbing in and out of the spurs that extend from Burromoko Ridge. This is rugged pagoda country only 2km from Blackheath. The climbs are steep. Weathering of ironstone and sandstone, plus a little imagination has produced a giant armchair, three little sisters and a top hat carved out of rock. The scenery is weathered sandstone at its best. The walk ends with a magnificent hanging swamp waterfall and a huge cave. There is a rope assisted climb of a rock face to complete the walk. The total distance travelled is around 6 km. Scrambling up rocks and descending steep ridges is involved.

These are both exploratory for the leader and are based on matching of aerials with those in a Richard Patterson video (located west of the Glow worm tunnel road near the intersection with the coach road). Relatively short entry and exit with some scrub bashing.
