Camping beside Coxs River and walking on Botwells Swing Bridge along “Six-Foot-Track” is another experience in addition to regular bushwalking/hiking at Blue Mountains National Park.
We are going to walk “Six-Foot-Track” for this weekend March 5 (Saturday) and Sunday (March 6) before heading to Wilsons Prom of Victoria next weekend.
At the same starting point, the Explore Tree of Katoomba, a few of us will carry camping gears and walk to Swing Bridge on Saturday and stay at Cox River campsite on Saturday night, while most of us will only walk on Sunday, and meet the Saturday’s walkers at Swing Bridge for lunch. All of us will walk back Katoomba together on Sunday afternoon.
For 2 days walks and over night camping at Coxs River, please see
