Starting from the Long Gully Campground off Long Gully Road, Budawang National Park, this takes you to the summit of Byangee Mountain and back via the Byangee Mountain Walking Track. This challenging hike climbs to the summit plateau of Byangee Mountain, a flat-topped mountain located between The Castle and Pigeonhouse Mountain in the Budawangs, standing about 500m above sea level. The walk begins at the Long Gully campground, crossing the Yadboro River into Morton National Park, then climbs the ridgeline above Castle Creek and follows a fire trail to the southern base of The Castle. From there, the walk follows a narrow path along the escarpment base, passing stunning rock formations such as Cathedral Cave and the Natural Arch, then heads across the saddle at Castle Gap. After some moderate rock scrambling up the Byangee Walls, including rope-assisted sections and a narrow rock passage, the walk reaches the plateau summit of Byangee Mountain, which offers panoramic views of The Castle, Pigeon House Mountain and the Clyde River Valley. If time allows, walkers can continue to Pickering Point, Byangee Mountain's easternmost point, before returning to the campground. This walk consists of wide and narrow walking trails, fire tracks and off-track sections, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, rock scrambling sections, creek crossings and steep hills. Suitable for high fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
