Starting from Split Rock parking area follow this moderate circuit walk along the peaks of Warrumbungle National Park. Once at the top of the Split Rock you'll be rewarded with stunning views over Warrumbungle mountain and Western Plains. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wiradjuri, Kamilaroi & Wailwan people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
