Starting from the intersection of Nightcap Range Road and Blue Fig Road, Whian Whian, this return walk takes you to the foreshore of Rocky Creek, exploring the woodland of the state conservation area along the way. The little cascades alone are worth the undemanding stroll of a walk, but that’s not the only thing this track offers. A peaceful picnic area awaits you beside the creek, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery with your whole family. Let your kids bring their mountain bikes and have fun while you savor the tranquilizing experience. The fire trail is well marked and even, and the lack of people strengthens the feeling of remoteness. Please refrain from swimming or washing anything in the creek as this is a water catchment area, you could destroy the eggs of rare frog species. Keep an eye out for snakes. 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.
