Caving & Hiking – Bungonia National Park

Get out of your comfort zone and explore somewhere new!

Let us introduce you to Bungonia State Conservation Area in the NSW Southern Highlands. This full-day adventure is the perfect place to enjoy the bush and take in some fresh air, whilst developing your skills and confidence.

Our morning hiking session will be a circuit to Becks Gully, taking us on road, trails and off-track to fantastic views of the Shoalhaven River Gorge. We will stop for a morning tea break at a spectacular clifftop location before continuing our hike through light scrub back to our starting point.

A light bbq lunch will be provided along with cold drinks to help recover from the morning exertion before our afternoon caving session which is perfect for first-timers; we’ll have fun exploring the spaces of Grill Cave without testing your claustrophobia! This is not a cave of tight constrictions or vertical ropework though there are several vertical steel ladders to descend/ascend and 1 horizontal steel ladder to cross. There are a few sections where foot and handwork are important as well as chambers where the group can reform and take a rest. We provide helmets and headtorches and 2 guides will work with group members to create a positive experience.

Come with a friend or be ready to make some new ones!

Your guides will provide all necessary instruction to put you at ease. Camping is possible at Bungonia Conservation Area for those who want to stay on the night prior to this event.

We look forward to seeing you there!
