Camping & Accommodation: The Hash House will be on private property adjacent to Wollemi National Park. Camping is permitted on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Participants in the 24 hour events must be well rested before driving home.
There is no water supply at the Hash House and while ‘Tea and Damper’ will be provided on the course, no shelter or facilities will be available at the ‘T&D’ spot.
Travel Alternatives: To be safe and sociable, consider coming by train to Lithgow and then travel on our bus to the Hash House. The bus will meet the 8:53 pm train at Lithgow railway station on Friday evening.
From Sydney, to arrive at Lithgow in time, you need to catch City Rail service scheduled to depart Central at 6:00 pm.
The bus will depart the Hash House at 1.15 pm on Sunday to connect with the 3.37 pm train from Lithgow, scheduled to arrive in Central at 6:23 pm.
The $15.00 (return) for the bus represents excellent value as it is less than the fuel cost to drive from Lithgow to Wollemi National Park.
Should you decide to drive your car to the event, please stay an extra night or bring someone to drive you home. If you stay till Monday morning, remember to bring food and water for Sunday evening and Monday.

Terrain & Map: Most of the course is in National Park and State Forest. The Hash House will be on adjoining private property. The area encompasses very scenic pagoda country with great views and plenty of wildlife. Course setters have seen platypus in waterways. There is a good array of tracks, especially in the vicinity of the Hash House and \'Tea and Damper\' spot but the terrain is steep in parts. Some spurs and creeks have thick vegetation while in other areas, the vegetation is open and fast.
This is an event that caters for both the experienced teams as well as the novice and less competitive teams.
