This will be a very full day trip. Meet at the Orange High School bus bay at 8.00 am, an hour earlier than usual. 4WDs would be preferred but are not essential and car-pooling is encouraged.
The excursion will highlight what Eric spoke about in his talk. We will drive by Ben Bullen and the enormous open cut mines of the 1950s,
then to the Capertee lookout to see the panorama of the world’s second largest canyon. Next will be a drive into the Glen past the Regent Honeyeater support properties and around the old town to see how it has disappeared under nature. After a stop at the lookout above the oil-works we will go into Wollemi National Park at confluence of Coorongooba Creek and the Capertee River. There will be toilet stops at Capertee, Glen Davis, and Wollemi. The trip home will be via Glen Alice and Sofala.
BYO everything – food, water, and drinks. Please wear sturdy footwear, long sleeve shirts and pants and insect repellent. A jumper might
be a good idea if the weather is cool.
