Key geological stops will cover the geological history of the mountains, including: the Lapstone Monocline, Hawkesbury Sandstone, Coal Measures and Basalt Caps. We’ll also be taking in many of the grand vistas the mountains have to offer, and enjoying some of the more touristy things too, such as Wentworth Falls, Echo Point, Scenic World (Scenic Railway, Skyway) and the Mount Tomah Botanic Gardens.

Tom Gleeson
Tom Gleeson is one of Australia's favourite comedians. Besides his many TV appearances, he’s been nominated for a Helpmann Award three times and won the Piece of Wood Comedian’s Choice Award in the Melbourne
International Comedy Festival. He has performed several times at the two major comedy festivals in Melbourne and Edinburgh, as well as the invite-only Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and the Kilkenny Comedy Festival in Ireland.
Oh yeah, and the biggest stand up on the planet Louis CK chose Tom to be his support act for his Australian tour. He is the comedian comedians watch.
Tom has performed at the Sydney Opera House, in every capital city in Australia, in London, Dublin, New York, Los Angeles, Singapore, Hong Kong, Jakarta as well as entertaining the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Not content with conquering stand-up, Tom has also published a book, Playing Poker with the SAS: A Comedy Tour of Iraq and Afghanistan. This follows up his story The Italian Job, which appeared in Take Me With You, a collection of tales of long distance love edited by Sarah MacDonald for Random House.
In 2013 he made Australia his bitch once more with his new stage show, Hello Bitches. This was Tom’s biggest selling tour yet with crowds lining the streets in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney to catch a fill.
