Section 09Aberdeen to Wallerwang
This section takes you across the rich plains of the Upper Hunter Valley, breeding centre of Australia’s horse industry. Following quiet roads and historic stock routes, the Trail leads to the top of the Great Dividing Range and along the vast wilderness of the Wollemi and Blue Mountain National Parks. Despite its rugged grandeur, this section of the Trail is quite safe for first time adventurers to tackle with confidence. Several campsites are in established areas with hot water and electricity and the unforgettable Jenolan Caves are only a short distance off the Trail. Both mid-summer and mid-winter are best avoided for their extremes of temperature.
Everything you need to plan your journey safely and successfully.
