Need a break from the big smoke? Want to feel like royalty atop a castle of stone? Then this stunning three day hike in the Budawangs might just be exactly what you need!!
We’ll be setting off from Newy on a Friday morning to arrive at Wog Wog campground around midday. We’ll pop our packs on and break the back of the hike by ditching the boots and crossing Wog Wog creek, before trekking over to the Burrumbeet caves, passing the Corang arch - a gravity defying structure with a beautiful view - on the way. We'll set up camp in the caves and explore the nearby Yurnga lookout.
The next morning we’ll pack up camp and fire up the engines for our ascent of the Castle, involving some exciting rock scrambles and exposed handline climbs. If heights aren’t your style then it’ll be best you don’t look down till we reach the top!! To get there, we'll keep powering our way along the Wog Wog track, passing stunning rock formations in the Monolith Valley. Once we've arrived at the base of the Castle, we'll pop our packs of and conquer that bad boy! Once we’ve soaked in the views and excitement of the epic summit we’ll head back towards Burrumbeet taking a shortcut via the valley between Mts Owen and Cole. We’ll push as far as possible before pitching tents under the stars to settle down for a well deserved camp feed and a good night's sleep.
The last day we’ll head back to Wog Wog campground, passing the same stunning features as before. At the river crossing, we'll have the chance to wash the 3 days of funk off us before embarking on the journey home, which will definitely involve a good pub feed.
While we welcome all company that comes our way, this hike is set to earn its spot as an intermediate trip. There will be various challenging sections including exposed rock scrambles and some tricky navigation through overgrown track sections. Prior hiking experience would be greatly beneficial as well as a solid fitness level. The ticket cost will cover transport to and from the hike as well as any gear hire from the shed. Food will be sorted out independently and while we’ll have some great suggestions for trail meals this will not be a part of the ticket cost. If you have any further questions feel free to shoot an email to caramelancholyy@gmail.com or message any of us on facebook!
Cheers,
Chris Brown, Cara O'Connor & Angus Whitnall
