A Message from National Parks

“Please advise your visitors that their permission to drive to Wat is dependent upon visitors locking the gate as they enter and leave, and that they are not permitted to drive anywhere other than the direct route between the gate and the Wat. They are not permitted to drive beyond the Wat, nor on any trails between the gate and the Wat. NPWS will fine any visitors who are caught not adhering to these rules. The fine for driving on trails without authorization is $300.”

Disclaimer Statement:

While the Wat is a beautiful and special place, being in the middle of the Dharug National Park, it has many risks and dangers:   Below are some examples

 1.  A rough 16km of dirt track through the National Park, with dangers of  falling rocks, unstable edges, and slippery at times 
 2.  Poisonous snakes and spiders
 3.  Falling tree branches
 4.  Unreliable mobile phone reception
 5.  Unpaved and uneven walking tracks, most without lighting
 6.  The nearest hospital is 2 hrs drive away.
 
While all reasonable care is taken to ensure your health and safety, if you enter the monastery for a day visit or overnight stay,  you agree to indemnify the monastery for any personal injuries or property damage.
