Starting from the end of Goonengerry Mill Road, Goonengerry, this circuit walk pivots around two hills and crosses multiple creeks, giving you a tour of Goonengerry National Park. This park used to be a state forest before January 1999. It consists of 525 hectares and pivots around 2 hills. Providing heaps of shade, this hike could be a refreshing choice for a workout in summer. Besides, almost all of the track is on fire trails, so overtaking people is unlikely to cause problems. If you’re here when it’s foggy, be prepared to feel like you’re in a mysterious adventure in nature. 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.
