Join us to explore the lower part of Barrington Tops National Park on our Women Embrace Rocky Crossing Hike.

This walk is through sub-tropical rainforest, with amazing tall red cedars and strangler figs. We’ll provide you with lunch and snacks to carry for the walk and we’ll have some baked goods and a hot drink for afternoon tea in the picnic area at the completion of our hike.
