Six Foot Track
New South Wales
Menu
The Six Foot Track has become one of the “classic” NSW overnight walks since it was opened for bushwalking in 1984. It follows the route of the original six foot wide bridle track between Katoomba and Jenolan caves built in 1884. A significant part of the track traverses farming land or uses 4WD roads (and all the official camp sites are accessible by 4WD) so don't expect a wilderness experience!
Getting there
Start/finish at Explorers Tree in Nellies Glen Rd (Katoomba) and Jenolan Caves. Limited public transport options to Jenolan Caves.
