On offer are two opportunities to take a Wilderness Walk to Tomah Spur to experience the Garden's wilder side, led by a specialist guide with detailed knowledge of Blue Mountains� plants and wildlife. This one day walk will take place on Saturday 6 October and Wednesday 10 October.

Tomah Spur is on conservation land owned by the Royal Botanic Gardens & Domain Trust. Your walk will take you through four different environments: rainforest, eucalypt woodland, spectacular heath and wind-sculpted sandstone. You'll travel through a carpet of ferns, moss-laden rocks and lush green rainforest with towering trees, before emerging onto a rock outcrop with spectacular views of the Blue Mountains.

This is great opportunity to explore this beautiful bushland on an extended tour. Reasonable fitness, sturdy shoes, a sun hat and water bottle are recommended.

Saturday 6 October and Wednesday 10 October (weather permitting). 10 am to 5 pm. $60 pp includes morning tea/coffee. Bookings essential.

Over the weekends of 6 & 7 and 13 &14 October, volunteer guides will be running special guided tours of the Garden. Explore the geographical differences between plants in a Walk around the World; or discover the history of The Jungle in a Walk on the Wild Side. Each walk will last approximately one hour. Departing at 11 am (Walk around the World) and 1 pm (Walk on the Wild Side) from in front of the Visitor Centre on the 6, 7, 13 and 14 October. $15 pp.
