Far South Coast Yatra 2024

Mt Gulaga – Mimosa Rocks – Bournda NPs, Far South Coast NSW

Monday 29 April – Thursday 9 May 

with Ronny Hickel & Emma Pittaway

This revised route is offering a new pilgrimage spanning a beautiful section of the coast including Mt Gulaga, Mimosa Rocks and Bournda National Parks. It is a wonderfully woven trail through national parks, private property, and small townships. This offering touches upon a traditional sense of pilgrimage merging into and out of wild places and the villages that sit between. We will visit country sacred to the Yuin people, wild coastal bushland, moody estuaries, rugged rocks and pristine sandy beaches.
