Starting from the Bongil picnic area at the end of Williams Road, Bonville, this walk takes you on a circuit around the northern section of Bongil Bongil National Park via the North West, Storylands, Lyons Road, Railway and North Bank trails. This moderately challenging loop explores the northern section of Bongil Bongil National Park, taking in peaceful creeks and stands of tall eucalyptus trees. The park provides habitat for a variety of birds and animals, including one of the largest koala populations in NSW. The walk initially follows Williams Road, then heads along the North West Trail, passing through the native forest. After briefly following the Storylands Trail, the walk heads along Mimiwali Drive and Rutland Street, passing through a residential area. Further ahead, the walk heads through a gate and follows the Lyons Road Trail, eventually joining the Railway Trail, which meanders alongside the North Coast railway line. Before returning to the Bongil picnic area, there's an optional side trip along the North Bank Walk, winding its way alongside Bonville Creek, which offers excellent fishing and kayaking opportunities. Picnic tables, shelters, barbecue facilities and toilets are available at the picnic area. This walk consists of wide and narrow, gently undulating walking trails, fire tracks and sealed roads, with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural & gravel surfaces, and sealed surfaces. Suitable for average fitness levels. Let us begin by acknowledging the Gumbainggir people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
