Day 1: Departing Gunning at 09:00 we will head towards Bathurst via Grabben Gullen and Tuena looking at a few sights on the way. Lunch will most likely be at Bathurst where we can also refuel.
We’ll then head to Sunny Corner and make our way through Sunny Corner State Forest to Woolshed Flat campground in the Turon National Park where we will stay overnight.
Day 2: A leisurely journey down the Turon River to Sofala and across to Hill End where we will camp on the Macquarie River.
Day 3: We will return to Hill End where there will be time to explore before we head back via Dixons Long Point to Orange and back home.
All participants will be responsible for registering on the NSW National Parks site and creating a booking for Woolshed Flat in their own name for COVID-19 purposes.
If you have a good off-road camper and are up for a challenge maneuvering it through some technical obstacles between trees you are welcome to bring it, otherwise the trip is probably not camper trailer friendly.
Camping on the Macquarie is on NSW Lands Board camp spots and registration is not necessary.
There are lots of things to do in Hill End and I’m happy to offer suggestions and shift our timetable around to suit.
There are long drops on the Macquarie but no facilities at all at Woolshed Flat. We will go into Capertee on Sunday morning so that we can use the public toilets there.
Only limited supplies will be available during the trip.
The trip is limited to six vehicles, with three spaces currently available.

NOTE: The trip is now full.
We will take further names for the waitlist in case anyone pulls out of the trip.
