5. Ten Mile Hollow

Ten Mile Hollow is on the Old Great North Road 16 km from Wisemans Ferry. Turn right at the top of Devines Hill and continue along the road. A service road (the Western Commission Track) joins the old road after 10 km. Although closed to public vehicles, it may be used by cyclists and walkers who want to make a round trip. It emerges on the main road 4 km east of the ferry crossing. Continue walking along the road, and after passing the pine plantation and buildings at the Wat Budda Darma retreat, the Ten Mile Hollow camping area is reached. This is an ideal place to camp overnight, to visit Clares bridge, 1 km further along the road, or to explore Simpsons Track.
