Bushwalking in Blue Mountains

Hi,
I'll be in the Blue Mountains beginning of November, for a week. Looking to
spend a couple of days walking to the Blue Gum Forest, camping overnight.
Would appreciate any info.

Presume you know that you can't actually camp in the Blue Gum Forest - but
at Acacia Flat, which isn't far from the BGF. The easiest route is from
Pierces Pass on the Bells Line of Rd - it can be done as a longish day trip,
but you need a car to get there. If you go in from the Grand Canyon you can
get to Blackheath by train & come out at Mt Victoria.

Thanks Vicki,
yes I knew about Acacia Flat. Going in from the Grand Canyon sounds a good
idea. Do the creek crossings on the track involve getting wet or are they
fairly simple to negotiate?
