• How to get there

• The closest airport to Glenrock Scout Camp is Newcastle Airport, which is approx. 30-35 minutes by car and has regular flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and other major cities.

• Driving from the South of Lake Macquarie, take the Swansea exit off the freeway. After crossing the Swansea Bridge, it is approximately 13kms to the turn off from where the Newcastle Inner BY-PASS begins. (DO NOT TAKE THE BY-PASS). Turn right at the traffic lights back onto the Pacific Highway (heading towards Charlestown). At the next set of traffic lights (Oakdale Road) turn right (Charlestown Toyota). Proceed 400m and turn left onto Bulls Garden Road — follow it up the hill to a roundabout at the top. This is Dudley Road, proceed around the roundabout to last exit to the right. Proceed 500m up a shorter hill and on your left just before the service station is Burwood Road. Turn left here and follow for 2.5kms. When the road sweeps left and starts to descend on the right is a minor sealed road. Follow this road to the camp.

• Travelling from the North, there are multiple exits off the freeway you may choose. You can exit and follow the signs into Newcastle, however once you reach Hexham we suggest you enter Charlestown 2290 as your destination and then as you near Charlestown, add in the Scout Camp address. Staying on the freeway heading south you can also exit on the A15 ‘Newcastle Link Road’ that will bring you in on the western side of Newcastle, again we recommend entering Charlestown as your destination, until you get closer and can navigate with the exact camp address. From the Pacific Highway at Highfields (near Charlestown), which is approximately 10kms south of the Newcastle City Centre. Turn left at the traffic lights into Kahibah Road (the road sign says 'Kahibah. Continue for 1km and the fourth street on the left is Burwood Road. Turn left here and continue straight ahead for 1.2km (through a stop sign). Descend and then climb and turn left onto the minor sealed camp road. Follow this road to the camp.
