OK boys and girls. Here is my suggestion for a day trip out of Sydney. This is one of many possible trips we could have but I wanted to keep it interesting but not too difficult. Not to mention that we dont want to spend hours in the car just getting to the start point. For me from Minchinbury it should take around 1.5 to 2 hours to get to the start.
Basically we have a play around in the Jenolan State Forest and have a look at what we find in there. No need to stick to too much of a dedicated course. I did take the liberty of suggesting a few "Destinations" though.
I would say we meet at around 0800 or 0900 Hrs at the start point and spend an hour meeting everyone so we can put faces to names and then air down and get into it. Have a break at around noon where we find a spot and have an Australia day lunch in the bush. We can then spend a bit more time having a laugh and a yarn.
Maybe kick off our return trip at about 1400 Hrs (ish) and travel a different way out to Little Hartley. (Trip notes below)
What do you think?
