Itinerary description
Wedding Mountains National Park is located 430 km west of Syndey near the town of Grenfell.
Grenfell is a historical Australian town with a lot of character. Grenfell is also the town where the famous Australian writer and poet Henry Lawson was born.
Regarding the national park, there are various walks that one can choose (from easy to long hard and steep).
I chose a moderate walk. I arrived in the afternoon and started my ascent in the Black Gin Gully. During the afternoon one can observe many native including Superb parrots and Peregrine Falcons.
I also did a bit of rock climbing, however I would not recommend it because it is a little dangerous. Please ignore the rock climbing bit on my GPS trail.
Finally, dusk is magical and is when the swamp wallabies and kangaroos come out to play.
I would not recommend this walk for summer. There is too much dry and flammable wood around and the risk of being caught in a bush fire is probable.
