Wilson’s Prom Accommodated Trip: Kings Birthday Weekend
Upcoming
Note: This trip is currently fully booked. Any available bookings are for specific people on the waiting list. However, you can request to be placed on the waiting list.
Trip Overview
This is an accommodated trip staying in several cabins in Tidal River for 3 nights (arriving Friday evening & departing Monday).
There will be 2 full day walks (Oberon circuit & Tidal River/Mt Bishop/Pillar Point) and one 1/2 walk (Millers landing and Verekers Lookout).
There are limited supplies in Tidal River (only a small general store) so it is best to bring all required items.
Accommodation
Accommodation comprises several cabins located in Tidal River. Three of these have 2 bedrooms (double & 2 x bunks) and 3 or 4 people allocated to each cabin (depending upon the number of couples). There is also one ‘basic cabin’ with no ensuite (twin share).
Additional cabins may be booked subject to demand and availability.
There is the option of booking your own accommodation once the existing booking is full (please indicate this at the time of booking).
