Starting from the car park near the Bulahdelah Skatepark on Scott Street, Bulahdelah, this walk takes you to the summit of Bulahdelah Mountain and back via the Bulahdelah Mountain Walk. This moderately challenging walk takes walkers to the summit of Bulahdelah Mountain, also known as Alum Mountain, an imposing set of rocky outcrops in Bulahdelah State Forest overlooking the township of Bulahdelah and the Myall River Valley. The mountain has cultural significance to Aboriginal people, and it earned the moniker 'Alum Mountain' due to the discovery of an uncommon alunite deposit in the late 1800s. The walk initially follows the Boolah-Dillah Track, which climbs steeply through the forest, then reaches the Worimi Cultural Area, where there are traditional tree carvings, seating and a fire pit. From there, the walk continues past the Former Alum Mine, following the Mountain Track to the Mountain Lookout, a natural rock cliff lookout with spectacular views of the Bulahdelah township. Along the trail, there are interpretive signs detailing the area's plants and animals, mining history and significance to Aboriginal people, and in spring, there's an abundance of colourful wildflowers. This walk consists of wide and narrow walking trails and fire tracks, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, short steep hills and steps. It is suitable for average 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.

From there, the walk climbs a series of steps, following a short trail to the Cape Hawke Lookout, which offers panoramic views along the coast from the top of a dedicated observation tower, as well as excellent whale watching opportunities.
