Have you heard about

The Blue Gum Forest?

Come along to the monthly meeting of the Hikers Club, on 6 September 1932

The meeting will be addressed by a representative of a group called the Blue Gum Forest Committee, who have been busy saving a beautiful stand of Blue Gums in the Blue Mountains.

The representative will show us some especially prepared lantern slides, and explain why we should all support their cause.

The above re-enactment will be a highlight of the 65th anniversary celebrations, hosted by The Friends of Blue Gum. It’s to be held in the NPWS Heritage Centre, near Govetts Leap, at noon on Sunday 6 September, following the official commemoration at the Leap at 10 am.

There will be plenty of afternoon left to get down to the forest to join other walkers camped at Acacia Flat, or on the other side of Govetts Creek, where there will be a communal campfire.

On the Sunday there will be a short historical tour of the forest, commencing at 10.30 at ‘the big tree’ at the botom of the Perrys track.
