Starting from Bald Rock picnic area this circuit walk in Bald Rock National Park takes you up to the Australia's largest granite rock to a scenic view over the national park. The walk connects Bungoona walk and Bald Rock Summit walk into a loop walk. Let us begin by acknowledging the Jukembal people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
