Mugii Murum-ban State Conservation Area, dominated by the two pagoda-encrusted mesas of Mount Airly and Genowlan Mountain, is the epitome of Nature’s grand design. It contains intricate rock formations, stupendous views, mind-bending intimate spaces, soaring cliffs, rare or endangered plants and animals; and historic Wiradjuri and European archaeological sites. As a destination, it exerts an addictive, emotional pull that we found impossible to resist.

Little known by contemporary bushwalkers except for a group of dedicated adventurers, and under real ongoing threat from coal mining, Mugii Murum-ban is one of our favourite walking and exploration playgrounds within the Greater Blue Mountains. While nothing can compare to being there, this book, designed for bushwalkers of all experience levels, is intended to bring you very close and to encourage you to plan your own visit.

The book contains detailed track notes of 34 bushwalks and is illustrated with maps and hundreds of colour photographs.
