Starting from the car park on Haines Road, Ashbourne, this walk takes you on a circuit around Bullock Hill Conservation Park via the Heathland Hike. This short hike passes through dense mallee eucalypt heathland, with plenty of acacias, banksias, tea trees and hakeas. The hike follows Haines Road parallel to the park's southern boundary, between the two trailheads. Western grey kangaroos can often be spotted at dawn and dusk, grazing in the native grassland along the park's eastern boundary. This loop consists of gently undulating fire tracks suitable for most fitness levels and can be done in either direction. The trails in this park aren't well-signposted and can sometimes be ambiguous, but there are some markers and the open country makes navigation fairly straightforward. The walk can be extended by following the Native Grasses Hike, which combines the Heathland Hike and Eucalypt Hike. Dogs are not permitted in this park. 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.
