Also called the Glen Rosa Track the Wonderland Track is a relatively short circuit with several sidetrips first to a cave and then a lookout. The views along the main bushtrack are quite shrouded by the surrounding bush but the occasional ones that are there provide a good view of the surrounding cliffs. Unfortunately, the cave at the bottom has been graffitied and there is frequent litter. Let us begin by acknowledging the Dharug & Gundungurra people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
