Starting from the car park off Mount Nebo Road, Lake Manchester, this walk takes you on a short loop in the wet eucalypt forest of D’Aguilar National Park via the Atrax Circuit. This peaceful stroll through the dense rainforest can be short, but it can be pretty addictive with the constant birdsong of bellbirds and eastern whipbirds accompanying you. Disconnect with modern life in a matter of seconds as the track meanders deep into the woodland. Enjoy the soothing scenery and try to spot some sunbaking kangaroos along with Australian brushturkeys. The car park can fill up within a blink of an eye, so come early. Keep in mind that the track can get muddy after rainfall. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
