Start your journey in Sydney and make your own way to Wolgan Valley. The drive will take around 3 hours
On arrival at the resort staff will assist you with check-in, show you to your room and explain all activity options to you. You can choose from two nature-based activities per day.
Driving instructions from Sydney Airport are included under the Documents Tab.
Enjoy the morning with the conservation team and take a fascinating journey into the ecology of the Blue Mountains. Make a ‘hands on’ contribution to the restoration and protection of the reserve with fun and meaningful conservation work that provides an important habitat for native wildlife and helps protect the health of the beautiful Carne Creek and Wolgan River.
This activity reveals insights into Australia’s native fauna, woodland ecology and key issues impacting the local wildlife. This is a memorable opportunity for you to become part of the ‘Wolgan’ story. Contributions to the conservation program may include tree planting, wildlife surveys, testing of water quality, habitat assessments, feral animal monitoring and wombat surveys. All equipment is supplied and you will be transferred to the various sites by 4WD vehicle.
Later today enjoy your complimentary Wildlife and Sundowners Experience.
Conducted from the comfort of a 4WD touring vehicle, this tour provides an introduction to the reserve, the resort’s native fauna and the numerous opportunities for outdoor exploration of our tracks and trails.
The tour begins as the sun begins its slow descent towards the horizon, eventually casting a golden hue across the ancient sandstone of the escarpments. Not only is this an incredibly beautiful time of the day, it is also when many of our native animals are starting to become active and easily visible.
You can observe kangaroos, wallaroos, wallabies and many native birds, possibly even the resident Wedge Tailed Eagles. The tour provides countless photographic opportunities of both the wildlife and the spectacular scenery, and as the Field Guides are well versed in local bush lore and history, guests will be entertained and educated along the way.
Guides will use their knowledge of the reserve, the daily and seasonal conditions, and the behaviour of wildlife to plan the best route for the tour. As the light turns golden at the close of day, you enjoy Sundowner refreshments whilst gaining an insight into the ‘Wolgan’ story, Australia’s bush heritage and the history of the reserve.
Comfortable outdoor clothing, appropriate to the season and covered footwear is recommended. Sun protection is also recommended.
No activities have been planned and today is at your leisure.
Please refer to the Activities Brochure (found under the Documents Tab) to assist you plan your day.
Make your own way back to Sydney and continue under your own arrangements.
