Day walk in the Illawarra State Conservation Area. Walk the Forest Path on TOP of the Illawarra Escarpment from Maddens Plains to Mount Mitchell (which overlooks Stanwell Park). Spectacular views and an interesting, undulating track that meanders through changing scenery.
Note 1: Maddens Plains is near Boomerang Golf Course, not far south of Helensburgh.
Note 2: We will not be following the fire trails marked on Google Maps. We will be walking on the Forest Walking Track, a far nicer bush track.
Approx 12 km return.
Activity Organiser: MARGARET D.
