Details

This women's only overnight hike will help you build knowledge, get equipped and fall in love with spending a night under the stars.

Leave the bustle of the city behind on this two day women s overnight hike to Cox River. You will have the chance to cross the Swing Bridge and take a dip in the river.

Meeting at Megalong Valley Tea Rooms, your guide will take you through a welcome briefing and distribute group gear/food. A chance to learn how to best prepare and arrange your pack. Ask us the hard questions, we re here to help!

From Megalong Valley Tea Rooms, it s a short 10 minute drive down the road to our starting point. We meet at the Tea Rooms as there is a lot of room to sort gear, a bathroom and a chance to grab a coffee.

The Six Foot Track can be broken into different sections from Katoomba all the way to Jenolan Caves. It's usually a 3 day challenge stretch, however we like pretty things, so choose the more scenic sections from Megalong Valley Road to the Cox River (Swing Bridge) and return.

Please note, the bridge does swing! If you're someone uncomfortable walking across a moving bridge, this might not be the trip for you. It is really fun!

You ll cross farm land with cows and head into the valley towards the Cox River for a relaxing afternoon at camp.
