Illawarra Range Grand Escarpment Walk (20km)
About this event
From Scarborough we walk north along Lawrence Hargrave Drive crossing the Seacliff Bridge to the village of Coalcliff. From Coalcliff we will walk towards Mount Mitchell lookout via Wodi Wodi Track. We will then continue walking towards Maddens Plains by trekking along the 6 km Forest Walk. Moving on, we will walk for another 5 km before reaching Sublime Point Lokkout. The sweeping birds-eye view at this point is one not to miss! We will then proceed to the final part of the walk which involve a steep drop on the way down to the beautiful town of Austinmer where our journey concludes. We will take the train from Austinmer station back. There’s a cafe & toilet at Sublime Point. We will take a short break at Mount Mitchell lookout and lunch at sublime point. This isn’t a particularly hard walk (6 hours), but they will be 1 longer climb at the start and a steep descent. Pace will be about 4km/hour. If you are taking public transport, there is a 6:29am train from Central platform 25(please check this on the morning as it may change platform sometimes!) direct to Scarborough station. I will be hoping on this train from waterfall station at 7:11am (if you are driving, I suggest to park here). IMPORTANT NOTES: – You are responsible for looking after your own health and safety.
