Wind Cave
The interesting cave is formed by a tall and long section of wind carved stone. The cave is much taller than it is deep, and there are some nice rock formations. It is a fairly long drive in for a short walk, so you might be better combining this with a walk to Anvil Rock.

Wentworth Pass
This challenging walking track, from Conservation Hut, explores the magical, upper section of Valley of the Waters in Jamison Valley at Blue Mountains National Park. The circuit continues up Slacks Stairs. Wentworth Pass takes in scenic waterfalls and valley views as well as magnificent open forests and dense rainforest.
The track leads to Empress lookout with exceptional views, before it plunges deep into the valley. You’ll notice the eucalypts and angophoras give way to lush fern trees and moss-covered rocks. Everywhere you look there’s water; from the gentle splashing of creeks to the dull roar of cascading waterfalls.
The pool beneath Wentworth Falls is a perfect spot to relax and revel in the moist cool because from here on, the only way is up. Taking the Slack stairs you’ll join National Pass before arriving at Wentworth Falls picnic area. Head to the ‘Hut’ for an easy lunch or unpack the picnic hamper.

Mt Nebo - Honey Track
This is a beautiful walk along mostly well maintained forestry roads. We parked at Bullocky's Dam - there is no sign and the road is tucked away, but it is between Boombana and is about 500 m from Jolly's Lookout.
Following South Boundary road, you will wonder through the mossy rainforest for about 2 km – where you will enjoy the beautiful sounds of the Bellbird – and see them! Go right when you reach Augies Road and continue for another 2 km (approx.), Honey Track splits off to the right – it is sign posted. The entrance to this track was a little overgrown, but don’t let this put you off as it clears back to the vehicular track after approximately 500 metres. Most of the next 2.5 km is along a ridge through eucalypt forest – keep your eye out for sunbaking snakes, goannas and lots of local birds. This track stops at the end of the of the ridge, where on a clear day you should enjoy glimpses of the valleys in the distance and Lake Manchester. Take a well-earned rest, enjoy the views and then retrace your steps. I loved this walk!
