KV Youth - Pigeon House Mountain Walk

Join us bright and early for a climb to the top of the iconic Pigeon House Mountain, Didthul.  

Pigeon House Mountain Didthul walking track is one of the best walks in Morton National Park and on the south coast. The walk is in the park’s southern section. The walk is pretty steep in parts, but terrific views make it worthwhile.  You’ll hike through forest, heathland and age-old sandstone before coming to the best part – negotiating a series of ladders that lead you to the summit and the view.

Take in the captivating sight of cliffs and gorges within the Budawang Wilderness, all carved by the Clyde River. On clear days, you may be able to see as far as Jervis Bay and Bermagui. You might even spot a lyrebird along the final portion of the track, where you can also check out rare Pigeon House Ash eucalypts.

The walk is 5kms return, and we expect it to take roughly 3 hours. It's a 2 hour drive each way from KV to the start of the trackhead.

Meet: at the KV showground carpark at 6am or at the trackhead picnic area at 8am.  If you're meeting at the showground to carpool, please email Kirsty at youth@kangaroovalley.nsw.au so that she can ensure sufficient seats in cars.

Wear: a sunhat, sunscreen, sturdy walking shoes, and lightweight clothes that protect from the sun.

Bring: drinking water (1L recommended), camera

Return: to the trackhead at approximately 11-11:30am for a quick lunch, we should return to the KV showground by 1:30-2pm

Snacks will be provided during the walk and lunch, and additional water will be made available at the end of the hike.
