周日徒步 21 Nov – Mt Keira Ring & Summit Track, Robertsons Lookout Track, Ken Ausburn Track (to Wollongong University) in Illawarra Escarpment State Conservation Area.

Mount Keira rises out of the escarptment skyline and dominates the city of Wollongong. This peak has special significance to the Aboriginal people of the area and continues to define the landscape and a sense of place for the people of Illawarra.

The Superb Lyrebird (or Calboonya) is often heard and seen around Mt Keira.

The Red Cedar (Toona ciliata) or Wingderong was once common around Mt Keira. The rich colour and distinctive grain of its timber caused it to be highly prized for cabinet making. Early timber getters pursued this "red gold" to the extent that the local supply was exhausted within 40 years. Only smaller trees and a few enormous specimens remain in the Escarpment.

The Options:
•        Swim in the beach-side rock sea water pool or on the beach in Austinmer;
•        Drive home along the beautiful Sea Cliff Bridge & Lawrence Hargrave Drive;
