@unsw_wandersoc and UNSWOC are teaming up for an epic day out on one of the Blue Mountains' most underrated gems - the Porters Pass & Colliers Causeway track in Blackheath!

There will be waterfalls, a micro-canyon, lush rainforest, dry heath, cliffside paths, and even an optional (and very cold) swim!

This trail will require good fitness as there are steep sections, however we will not be in a rush.
