标题: Bushwalking at Leura of Blue Moutains NP for this Sunday Oct 24, 2010 [打印本页] 作者: bushwalker 时间: 20-10-2010 20:17 标题: Bushwalking at Leura of Blue Moutains NP for this Sunday Oct 24, 2010 It is time to resume our bushwalking/hiking in Blue Mountains National Park after 2 months. This Sunday Oct 24, 2010, we are going to Leura, the one of the two most beautiful towns (another is Blackheath, based on my own experience) of Blue Mountains National Park.
We will walk “On Top of the World” in the morning and “Look out Leura” in the afternoon.
On Top of the World (8KM, 2-3 Hours)
The walk to Lockley Pylon commands 360 degree view over the world heritage park. It’s a “top of the world feeling” to look across rugged cliff faces and down to valleys below. From the road the foot track leads on a steady incline along a ridge through heath-land and scrub to the high point. There are views all the way to the pylon.
Look Out Leura (8KM, 3-4 Hours)
This walk takes in numerous stunning viewpoints over valleys, creeks and waterfalls. While there are a few climbs we do not descend to the floor of the Jamison Valley. This trial is mainly on the cliff top near Leura.
