The Blue Mountains is one of the most special places in all of NSW and what better time to explore than winter. We're hosting this fabulous weekend again in July for some cooler hikes and a warm toasty night around the fire with delicous food and relaxation.

Hidden away in Megalong Valley are the Bush Cabins for our accomodation on Saturday post hike. All healthy and delicious meals are prepared for you, the inside wooden fire will be on and the outside fire ready for marshmellow toasting in our ugg boots and beanies.

But let's not forget the hiking! We will experience the beautiful trails and views of Govetts Leap, explore the ridge track to Pulpit Rock and cross the Six Foot Track 'Cox River Swing Bridge' on the Sunday.
