Bushwalk the 'Gong

Stolen reptiles, illegal drug crops and assaults; these are but a few issues for private landowners on the Illawarra escarpment.

It is a common misconception that the bush belongs to everyone and as locals we all have fair right to enter and play as we please. In the Illawarra, this mentality is well entrenched, but it is simply not the case.

Cascades Trail, Macquarie Pass National Park a perfect trail for little... and big explorers in the Illawarra
