Nangar National Park -Day Walks/Car Camp
Nangar National Park is in the Central West near Eugowra. It’s main feature is a U-shaped escarpment with Mount Nangar at the bottom of the U. We’ll do a couple of day walks including one to Mt Nangar.
The park is a good place to birdwatch. Wedgetail eagles are a common and spectacular sight.
We’ll camp at Terrara Creek Camp Ground and Picnic Area. If you wanted to stay in a nearby town you could join us for the walks. Some may want to camp on the 5th/8th too.
It’s school holidays and there are only 6 campsites bookable so I suggest booking soon if you are going to join us.
Grade: Medium
September 2021
Sun 5th – Thurs 9th
The Grampians
It is still uncertain what conditions we will be under in September, so ours is a precautionary booking at the Big4 NRMA Holiday Park (same as last year). It looks like accommodation is booking quickly so this is an early warning to get in soon. Be careful to make sure you have a free cancellation policy with your booking. Halls Gap is not a big town so any accommodation will be within a short distance of where we are staying.
There will be a multitude of activities at Halls Gap, so anyone interested need not come on all or any walks - nothing is planned at this time.
More details as we near the time.
Friday 10th – Friday 24th
Great Ocean Road – Otways – South AustraliaCar Camp Touring
After the Grampians trip, Brian is planning to head to the Great Ocean Road, Otways and South Australia for at least 2 weeks and invites members to join him. After spending some time on the Great Ocean Rd and getting immersed in the forest of the Otways, the plan is to explore the coast to Adelaide. If time permits, there will be a visit to the Remarkables before heading home.
