Walking at Mt Banks and Mt Wilson – 5 December 2015

I was heading up the Blue Mountains with friends John and Chuin Nee, and their young sons Jasper and Sebastian. We were heading up to the Wollangambe River Clean Up organised for the next day. We intended to camp the night at Mt Wilson. So that gave us all Saturday for some walking.

On the way up, we stopped at Mt Banks Picnic Area, and then walked up to the summit of Mt Banks. This is a pleasant and short walk with good views for a lot of the way up. There was also a lot of good wildflowers out to enjoy.

We then headed to Mt Wilson for lunch, where we met Rik and Don. After lunch, we walked along the fairly short Waterfall Walk. This goes through a very nice section of rainforest. There was even some nice fungi out.

Then we headed to the Cathedral Campground to meet up with Keith and set up our tents.
