Return
Walk
1 h 30 min to 2 h
Starting from the car park off Brogers Creek Road, Woodhill, this walk takes you to the Drawing Room Rocks Lookout and back via the Drawing Room Rocks Walking Trail. This relatively short, moderately challenging bushwalk takes walkers to the Drawing Room Rocks, a unique geological feature in the Barren Grounds Nature Reserve. The walk climbs steadily through lush rainforest and dry scrubland, emerging onto a plateau before reaching the Drawing Room Rocks Lookout, offering extensive views over Kangaroo Valley, Berry and towards the coastline. The unusual shapes of the rocks result from the weathering of the sandstone, giving them the appearance of tables and chairs. The track is well-defined and fairly easy to follow but has minimal directional signage, steep inclines, unfenced cliffs and sections that may be slippery in wet conditions. This walk consists of narrow walking trails, with uneven natural surfaces, rocky surfaces, steep hills and steps, suitable for moderate fitness levels. 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.

Starting from the car park at the end of Saddleback Mountain Road, Saddleback Mountain, this walk takes you to Mount Noorinan and back via the Hoddles Track. This moderately challenging walk heads west from Saddleback Mountain and follows the ridge up the escarpment to Mount Noorinan, located west of Kiama, following a historic fire track marked by green posts. Named and created by pioneer surveyor Robert Hoddle in 1830, the track was originally used to transport produce to Kiama and at one point, continued west to Bowral. The walk begins with short side trips to Saddleback Mountain Lookout's northern and southern viewing platforms, as well as the Rotary Lookout, then descends steeply and meanders through the remnant rainforest that once covered the area's coastal plain. Upon entering the Barren Grounds Nature Reserve, the walk climbs steeply to the top of Mount Noorinan, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding area. A variety of native birds can be seen along the way, including crimson rosellas, eastern bristlebirds and golden whistlers. There's a car park and toilet facilities at the summit of Saddleback Mountain, as well as a plaque telling the track's story. This walk consists of wide and narrow fire tracks and walking trails, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, rocky sections and steep hills, suitable for moderate fitness levels. 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.
