Trip Summary

Originally, we also had an idea to hike up to Mount Oberon in Wilsons Prom. Since we were unable to find some reasonable parking near Telegraph Saddle, we made a quick change of plans to also walk into Lilly Pilly Gully, just a little bit back along the road. From the carpark, we first walk almost level into the jungle (along the Lilly Pilly Gully Trail) until we got to the starting point of the Lilly Pilly Gully Boardwalk. This little round, in the middle of a dense jungle, is really impressive. One take-away impresssion from this place is that one would not be surprised, if suddenly a dinosaur walked "around the corner"! :-) After enjoying this little round, we then completed the Lilly Pilly Gully Circuit by taking "the higher route" back (which would also bring one to the starting point of the Mount Bishop Walking Track). All in all, this really was an enjoyable hike and we were clearly not unhappy about doing this track instead of Mount Oberon! :-)
