Beginning at Bullockys Dam, this walk explores the eucalypt forests that cover the southern ranges of D’Aguilar National Park.
Listen during summer when Bullockys Dam comes to life with a chorus of throaty frog calls. Remember to bring your camera to capture that special wildlife snap. Stop and linger at one of many creek crossings, breathing in crisp mountain air and savouring the serene landscape.
Pitch a tent for the night at Scrub Road remote bush camp and sleep beneath a blanket of stars.
