Wollangambe Canyon (Upper Section)
An "easy" canyon in the Blue Mountains - requiries no abseils, but you need basic navigation skills and you need to take note of where to exit. The Upper Section (or Wollangambe One) is (arguably ) slightly shorter and easier than the Lower Section.

Sets out from the Mt Nardi carpark and follows the Mt Matheson walk till the track branches to the left at the 1.5km mark. There are alot of steps to get to the Pholis Gap lookout, however when you arrive there a plaque explains the Gap look out.

Python Rock
The track to Python Rock has even grades, suitable for older people and young children. The booyongs and figs near the West Cliff turn off are impressive as are the large New England Blackbutt as you enter the open forest for the first time. The view from Python Rock overlooks Castle Crag to the Lost World with Mount Throakban on the left and Moran's Falls. You can proceed up the hill from the lookout on a tough track and turn left for West Cliff.

Mt. Beerwah - Alpine Route
Steep and tricky scramble followed by a nasty scrub bash section, climbing the North West side to join the upper tourist track. Basic rock climbing skills are needed to ascend the first 100m. Rope and some trad gear would be advisable on the lower section to lead a group.
A route of a strong wild environment and adventure character not to be taken lightly by inexperienced route finders.

Mt Coonowrin Summit
This climb has been closed since the late 90's when I last climbed this mountain.QPWS have banned public access to Mt Coonowrin due to unstable rock and safety concerns. I have included these notes in the hope that QPWS will one day reopen this mountain.
WARNING: Any one caught walking or climbing this mountain faces a minimum $440 fine.
This track requires rock climbing experience and is extremely exposed and WILL result in death or serious injury if attempted by the inexperienced.
