4 - Day Walk
Space junk treasure hunt Full
Here's a walk with a difference: In 2023, some amateur space enthusiasts launched a home-made near-space capsule to an altitude of ~30km. When it returned to earth it landed in a tree about 10m off the ground in a valley on the Western side of the Newnes escarpment. They think the capsule has now fallen to the ground and have asked for assistance to retrieve it. We will use a known pass to descend through the cliffs and see what we can find. Even though the walk will be short, it's all off-track and the descent and ascent is ~450m. The middle half is very steep. Suitable for fit, agile walkers.

3 - Creek
Grand Canyon Creek Walk
The Grand Canyon is a popular tourist walk at Blackheath. Starting at Evans LO we follow the path into canyon and walk along the creek climbing out at Neates Glen. The walk is 2 km, involving lots of steps on a well-formed track. Included in the walk are side trips to Lizard Rock, Harris LO, Beauchamp Falls and Lower Grand Canyon (as far as the swim). The walk will proceed at a slower pace and is suitable for new members and photographers. There are several creek crossings on stepping stones or ankle deep water.
