Yuri, Michael, and Brian go bushwalking twice a week.



Every Monday and Friday, they explore rarely walked tracts of the Wollemi National Park and Newnes plateau.



Each brings to the group a special skill; Yuri leads, doing the bulk of map reading and compass work. He’s backed up by Brian on GPS – who also acts as official photographer. And Michael’s the seat of knowledge when it comes to the local flora and fauna.



Their explorations regularly offer up discoveries; a new type of land snail, a rare fungus, or - as was the case when Off Track tagged along - breathtaking Aboriginal rock art.



This program was originally broadcast on 30 March 2013.
