Main Break Western Circuit

Starting from Quinzeh Creek Road, Cedar Creek, this circuit walk gives you a tour of Plunkett Conservation Park partly via the Main Break, crossing multiple streams along the way. The Main Break Western Circuit is a great option for both a workout and a leisurely stroll in a beautiful natural setting. The track features rocky terrain, which can make for a challenging yet rewarding hike. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to spot local fauna, including sugar gliders, rock wallabies and koalas. Most of the trails are wide and well-signed, providing you with pleasant views along the way. Additionally, dogs are allowed on lead. However, keep in mind that walkers and mountain bikers share the trail, so be aware of your surroundings. 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.
