This challenging return walk in Budawang National Park takes you through grassy woodland, wet gullies and montane forest before starting the 430m steep ascent to Mount Budawang summit for scenic views over the whole area. Let us begin by acknowledging the Ngunnawal people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
