Six of our mates had great time at Wilsons Prom of Victoria last weekend March 12-14, 2011, but Wilsons Prom is a little bit far away from Sydney (over 1000 KM one way) so we could not go there every weekend.
In New South Wales only Light to Light Track of Ben Boyd Nataional Park near Eden (about 5-6 hours driving) is compariable to the best park in Victoria: Wilsons Prom, based on my own experience. We could go there for camping and walking for two or three days in 2011. The Queen Birthday Long weend (June 11-13) may be one option.
For most of us Blue Mountains region may only be the easy accesible place for daily "easy", "medium" or "hard" walking/hiking.
This Sunday March 20 2011 we are going to walk :”Look out Laura” firstly, and if time and werather permit to “On Top of the World” (where four of us had different unforgettable experience on Oct 24, 2010, see #185-#192 and 游走天地间 Lockleys car park to Blue Gum Forest via Lockleys Pylon and Return http://freeoz.net/ibbs/thread-926139-1-1.html).
Look Out Leura (8KM, 3-4 Hours)
This walk takes in numerous stunning viewpoints over valleys, creeks and waterfalls. While there are a few climbs we do not descend to the floor of the Jamison Valley. This trial is mainly on the cliff top near Leura.
On Top of the World (8KM, 2-3 Hours)
The walk to Lockley Pylon commands 360 degree view over the world heritage park. It’s a “top of the world feeling” to look across rugged cliff faces and down to valleys below. From the road the foot track leads on a steady incline along a ridge through heath-land and scrub to the high point. There are views all the way to the pylon.
