Authors Comments:
This book describes 20 bushwalks in Wollemi National Park, which is located north-west of
Sydney. A central feature of the park is the Colo River which flows through more than 40 kms
of rugged wilderness surrounded by huge sandstone cliffs. A number of the walks in the
book describe the easier passes into the gorge, while others cover walks in the surrounding
areas such as Putty, Mt Wilson, Newnes, and Rylstone.
Some history and background of the area is provided as well as suggestions for extended
walks, and details of equipment and techniques for bushwalking in the area.
