Bushwalking in NSW

One of the nice things about living in Sydney is that the city is surrounded by National Parks - something like 22, and well over a million hectares within 150km of the city centre. Makes it great for bushwalking (hiking, tramping, trekking etc depending on where you come from).

With a lack of track notes on bushwalks in NSW, some years ago I developed a bushwalking web site - the current version is available at Bushwalking NSW. Previously I sent my walk reports to the Australian Bushwalking and Camping Web Site (which despite its name was mostly NSW-based). Unfortunately it now only exists in the web archives.

I have moved my bushwalking log book (last update 05 Nov 2009) off to a separate page so that it didn't overwhelm this one.

I have a fascination for Wollemi National Park, so a lot of my future plans for walks involve that area, and the northern Blue Mountains in general. It is a fantastic area of wilderness, and I've loved all of the trips I've made there. Some future walks I'd like to do include:

Wollemi NP - Bob Turners to Colo Meroo (lilo) (tried this 2 years ago but had lilo trouble)
Blue Mountains NP - Three Peaks
Wollemi NP - Wollemi - East to West (Newnes to Culoul Range)
Wollemi NP - Wollemi - North to South
Wollemi NP - Drip Rock
Blue Mountains NP - Upper Grose Valley
Nattai NP - Russells Needle
Blue Mountains NP - Katoomba to Mittagong
The Great North Walk
Morton NP - Pigeon House Mtn
Morton NP - Ettrema Creek to the Shoalhaven River
