This short circuit in Budderoo National Park leads you along an elevated walkway, taking in the views of flora and fauna of the rainforest. You will enjoy the views from the suspension bridges and viewing platforms. There are plenty of signs you help you understand this amazing environment. The creeks are great to enjoy from a distance but there is no access to them. 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.
