Lyrebirds and ocean glimpses as we pass through the Great Dividing Range.

quintessentially Australian Murramarang National Park to meet the famous

kayaking clothes, you will be met by our experienced kayak guide who will
provide you with all the gear and tuition you need to paddle the calm and
pristine waters of the Clyde River. After just a short journey in your
comfortable sea kayak, arrive at the famous Wray Street Oyster Shed where you
will meet a 4th generation Oyster farmer. Sample the freshest oysters you can
get – straight from the river! – and learn about the history and science behind
the oyster farming industry. We then paddle on to visit working oyster farms; scouting
for stingrays, soaring birds of prey and other wildlife along the tidal sand
flats, before returning to shore.

and board the vehicle back to Canberra, sharing stories and laughs along the

Day Walk - Pigeon House Mountain Morton National Park

Day Walk - Pigeon House Mountain Morton National Park

The best short hike on the South Coast of New South Wales. Enjoy comfortable transport, stories and more from Region X staff en route. Enjoy amazing summit views and stop at a waterhole for a swim on returning!

Be amazed by the history surrounding this great walk, the Aboriginal name for the mountain Didthol, meaning Big Mountain, culturally the mountain is a significant area. Later named by Captain Cook in 1770 as Pigeon House Hill for its shape, clearly seen from the ocean.  
The hike itself is an extremely rewarding experience, the views from the summit to the west into magical wilderness regions of the Buddawangs show sandstone cliffs, gorges and escarpments. Views to the east show the amazing NSW coastline stretching as far as the eye can see. 
Your Itinerary 
Hotel Pickups in Batemans Bay and Ulladulla - please advise your address. The exact time is based around the seasons. 
Travelling north from Batemans Bay in comfortable air conditioned transport you will reach the Morton National Park, catch glimpses of the southern end of the Sydney Sandstone Basin through spotted gum forest and learn about the uses of the area. After around an hour drive the dominant Pigeon House mountain awaits at the hike start location. 
While the hike is considered to be an easy 3 hour return hike, the first section straight out of the carpark is quite steep and walkers should be prepared for a tough first ascent. The first of the rest stops atop a granite outcrop gives great views to the south and is a welcome chance to rest, drink and admire the views while your guides chat about the geology. 
While the trail continues on a relatively flat plateau through tea tree and xanthoria, pockets of dry and uniquely wet temperate forest pass you on both sides for the next half hour. Finally the mountain gently rises prior to the first of a series of steel ladders and platforms constructed by Natinoal Parks and Wildlife Service. The safe steel structures guide you to the summit where expansive views into the Buddawang Wilderness and the ocean await. 
Spend as much time as you like on the summit and make your way down the trail, on your return journey lunch is prepared midway with incredible views to help you savour the experience!
Upon returning to the car park your guides will take you to the best spots to take a dip or soak your feet to celebrate your hike, either a local beach or the freshwater of the pristine upper Clyde River. It is here that we encourage a natural foot soak, a cold drink and some afternoon snacks. 
Return transport to Batemans Bay will follow.
Arrive approximately 3 to 4pm in Batemans Bay
If you have chosen a Canberra return transport service, arrive approximately 6pm in Canberra
