Mont Shop manager Leann and her family walked the Budawangs twice over summer and are going back for more as soon as they can.

“Both trips started out warm and sunny and we witnessed the area recovering from the previous summer's fires, we saw and heard many lyrebirds, and found an awesome swimming hole. However, each time we approached the part with the best views, the weather turned and we had to settle for waterfalls and enormous vague shapes in the mist. Determined to get the views, we are going back again soon hoping for 3rd time lucky.”


Leann is a highly experienced multi-day bushwalker with first-hand advice on the best gear and best practice for hiking, lightweight camping and climbing. Contact us or visit Mont in Canberra for all your adventure gear needs, expert advice and local knowledge.

An idea germinated a couple of weeks ago to walk the track in winter, something I hadn’t done before.

This trip into the Budawang National Park began as a mission to photograph new product releases, but beneath the brief sat a much more personal objective.

Probably the most important thing to pack though is a good amount of respect for the environment, commonsense and experience
