.NBC Outdoor Group

The Outdoor Group consists of a program of walking activities open to all, male and female, young and old. For all walks, a reasonable level of basic fitness is required. All activities generally leave the NBC car park at 9.00am on Saturdays (about once a month) and return by late afternoon, early evening.

Most walks are relatively easy in grade and are along well marked tracks, but some may involve short steep climbs or descents into or out of creek river valleys. To join in a specific walk you must contact the walk coordinators. You can obtain their contact details by emailing the Church office

Blue Mountains - Mt Wilson or Jenolan Caves Camp out Weekend
A day or weekend at Mt Wilson or Jenolan Caves
Easy walk but a long drive. Yet to decide the exact venue but it will be around 3 hours drive from Sydney - so if you're coming for the day a very early start is recommended. More details closer to the date.

A great little walk with some of the best views in Sydney. One up and down over Georges Head but the rest of the walk is Easy. Rating: Easy. Bring your swimmers for lunch at Clifton Gardens. Travel by Train/Ferry/Bus, so a DayTripper ticket is best.
