Heritage Walking Track
Awabakal & Worimi Country
Follow this short circuit walk from the remains of an 1870's stone bridge abutments to the brick tower that was a ventilation shaft from the old mine. Let us begin by acknowledging the Awabakal & Worimi people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
