Brief Summary:

Budget, low cost and no frills preview of the Booderee National Park. This is an exploratory activity meaning things may not line up exactly (for example walking routes may be shorter/longer than expected or we may need to catch earlier or later buses). Some road walking and unsealed firetrail walking involved. Suited to flexible and easy going members who enjoy exploring the national parks of NSW.
