Kanangra Walls Transport

Postby Lotsafreshair » Mon 19 Sep, 2011 3:56 pm

Hi All,
I'm leading a group on the K2K ("The Lazy Way" over 3 days) on the long weekend and am looking for transport options. It doesn't look like Wilderness Transport exists anymore :? . I've called for volunteer drivers, but does anyone have any other ideas? HELP!
Appreciate it,
Cheers
Lotsa

Aaaah, the pool pony extravaganza!
Recognise that photo anywhere.
Ask David who he used for 6ft track last year.
(It was a company in Katoomba!)
Another time we caught a taxi from Katoomba to the Walls.

Out of curiosity Melinda what did that cost (as I sit here cringing at the likely amount :shock:)?

Hi John,
I think we paid $50 each, the taxi was full. (About 2-3 years ago now.)
The taxi driver took us via Jenolan Caves.
(But it wasn't until we hit the dirt road that he started to get a bit worried!)

Hi Melinda,
Thanks for that (probably got even more worried once he started hitting pot holes :wink:).
I'm a bit surprised that you actually got one to go out there at all.

Ive caught taxis to Kanangra Tops on several occasions. It is usually about $200 from Katoomba. Ive never had an issue with any of the drivers, it appears that this is s regular run for most of them.
