Budawang, New South Wales, Australia

I recently returned to the Budawangs with my friend and fellow photographer/hiker Chris Wiewiora. This was our third trip to the national park and very reminiscent of our previous treks with scorching summer heat, scratched up legs and some of Australia’s finest mountain and wilderness views.

So, we set out today on a short reconnaissance mission to suss out the way to the beginnings of the walk to the summit of Mt Budawang. So past Nelligen and through forests up the southern highlands we drive. Turning off onto a dirt road in search of the path. Just before Mongarlowe, we travel down another dirt road. The quality slowly diminishing. We come to a steep hill, where a deviously inconvenient ditch filled with mud obstructs the road; easy for any simple off road car. Alas, not for our little adventure mobile. Begrudging, we retrace our steps. Changing goals from adventure to lunch. Braidwood isn't too far away. #adventure #Braidwood #budawang #batemansbay #southernhighlands #eurobodalla (at Budawang National Park)
