Starting from Borenore picnic area and car park this short circuit walk takes you through Arch Cave and then through a forest back to the starting point. If rain is predicted, put off this trip till next time, because water levels in the cave may rise very quickly during rainfall. 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.
Turn on to Borenore Access Road then drive for 1.3 km
