| Let's hope the rainforest looks as good as this. The Christmas Orchids should be in flower along the Box Forest Track |
We try to find a cool venue for this early morning walk and we have scheduled our outing at The Gap again which is easy walking, provides lush cool cover (we hope), a variety of habitats for birds, and usually plenty of other attractions such as fungi, insects, scenery and opportunities for the photographers. We hope that we have had plenty of rain by that time but, if not, an assessment will be made at a later date to see if this is a suitable venue.
Time: 6am for 6.30 am start
Where: Cunningham's Gap Rainforest Circuit and Box Forest Track
Directions: Make your way to the carpark at the top of Cunninghams Gap. Be careful turning across the traffic into the carpark.
Activities: We will check out the Rainforest Circuit first. Easy circuit walk but at our leisurely pace, we should complete this part of the walk by 8 am. We will then drive to the picnic area at West Gap Creek for a cuppa/breakfast and more bird watching. Some people may wish to do the longer walk from the top down to the picnic area and transport can be arranged to retrieve your car later. After morning tea/breakfast we will lead those wishing to participate, on a walk across the creek and along the Forest Box Track.
Level of Fitness: easy, graded tracks
Facilities: Toilets in both carpark and picnic area. There are picnic tables but they are out in the open and we generally tend to find a cool spot in the shade.
What to Bring: Breakfast, morning tea and lunch (if you stay longer). Carry water on your walks but we will return to cars for food and cuppas. Chairs, cameras, binocs, reference books, hats, sunscreen and tick spray.
Please check again closer to the date as we may have to change this venue. Currently the park is closed until 10th January.
