Wymans Hike

circuit

↑ 90 m
↓ -90 m

Moderate track
This walk takes you on a circuit via the Cascades Walk and Wymans Hike tracks, starting near the Blue Gum Car park on Spring Gully Road, Spring Gully. As you walk through Spring Gully Conservation Park, be mindful of the rare red stringybark tree. Stop at the gentle waterfall, especially if walking after rain, before returning to the car park. There’s a picnic area and a great lookout at the start, making it a great beginning or end to the walk. 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.
