We’re setting out for an unforgettable adventure at Yadboro, where we’ll be camping under the stars surrounded by nature’s tranquility. Our journey doesn’t stop there; we’ll be hiking to the breathtaking Byangee Mountains, a trail known for its challenging climbs and stunning panoramic views. The plan is to set up camp on the first day, enjoy a night of camaraderie around the campfire and have BBQ, and rise early to conquer the rugged terrain of Byangee.
Please have a good look at the plan below and let us know if you have any questions.
Don’t forget to read Sydhikers disclaimer here.

Hike Day
From our camp, it’s about 30 minutes to the Long Gully Car Park, which is the starting point of The Castle hike. Stay close to the other cards otherwise you can easily go to the wrong way which is a lot longer and less safe.
Yadboro River Crossing
River is a bit high, pretty much upto knees so we need to take off our shoes – And go full naked (just kidding). And the journey starts….
The Castle
Its all yours. Pictures, videos whatever you want – Just don’t jump off the cliff – Life is beautiful.
