White Mountains

White Mountains NP
May Long Weekend 3 day adventure

4-6th May 2024

White Mountains National Park - spectacular white sandstone bluffs and gorges.
An exploratory multi-day bushwalking adventure in a different section (for us) of White Mountains NP.
Planned as a remote bushwalking camping adventure. Will involve at least one night camping in a remote
gorge, maybe two nights.
Suitable for experienced, well equipped, remote and rough terrain capable, multi-day bushwalkers.
Type of walking - true bushwalking - no tracks. Bushwalking along and inside remote gorges and bluffs,
uneven terrain, boulder scrambling, and through bush / scrub, prickly heath. There will be steep
clambering climbs in and out of gorges.
This rugged, remote park covers 108,000 hectares and is only suitable for well-equipped, experienced
bushwalkers. There is no signage or information about remote bushwalking locations for this park.
Location is near Torrens Creek. Approx 370 km drive to the car park – Torrens Creek is 300 km from
Townsville, then a further approx 60 km dirt roads – some corrugations, rough in spots, some bull dust.
Bushwalkers registration, full planning and briefing will be at the club meeting on Monday 8th April
2024. Bushwalkers interested in participating are requested to attend the club meeting for registration and
briefing.
Members have priority for registration.
Must be over 18 yrs old to participate.
