Lost World Plateau
Bushwalking with WorthWild
We love getting out into the
Wilderness and are well equipped to take you with us! Whether an easy day walk or an epic
Wilderness Experience, we’ll look after you. I’ve
been out an about bushwalking in the Lamington Area since 1974 when I first
climbed Lost World. Due to its
proximity to Walk grading
system
All of the
walks shown below are scheduled to allow enough time for a moderately fit
person to complete the distance with little difficulty. However, overnight walks require you to
carry your food and camping equipment with you and this may present
difficulties for people who are not used to backpacking. We suggest that you start out walking on
day trips of up to 10 to 15 Kilometers distance only and then work up to the
longer day trips – those in excess of 15 Kilometers and overnight trips
where you will carry your camping equipment and food. Making an
enquiry
You can
book or enquire about a walk by calling Martin on 0413 157 358 or email
me from the link below. Regular
day walks cost $35.00 per day.
Overnight walks are individually priced according to the number of
people and the duration of the walk. Transport
is not included in the walks, all walks start and finish at the ‘trail
head’. However we are very happy
to give you a lift and to organize car pooling with you. |

This is an
epic journey up over the Lost World massif through to the
”saddle” campsite and up over Mount Wupawn and to
O’Reilly’s via Echo Point. The route
is infrequently walked and therefore will provide a challenge in navigation
for our trainee leaders who will be conducting this walk as a wilderness
assessment exercise. Black
canyon is known as the jewel of Lamington.
Hidden in the midst of the Southern Wilderness Area we will visit it
as a side trip to be taken on day two.
