Details:

Leave the bustle of the city behind and head into the Blue Mountains for a two-day overnight hike into the Cox River valley, followed by a weekend celebrating Mardi Gras in Sydney. This trip is the perfect mix of nature, community, and celebration, designed to be welcoming, supportive, and fun. We’ll spend two days hiking and camping along the Six Foot Track, learning overnight hiking skills, and enjoying being off-grid together before heading into Sydney for the weekend. There is also an option to join just the Sydney/Mardi Gras weekend for those unable to attend the hike. Spots are limited.
