From Burrawang picnic area this walk takes you through Mount Imlay National Park along a steep (did I mention steep!!) and rugged track to get to the top of Mount Imlay. Take in magnificent views of the park and check for yellow-tailed black cockatoos. Please use the footwear cleaning stations along the way to protect the environment. Let us begin by acknowledging the Yuin people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Warning This journey requires significant bushwalking experience, specialised equipment and navigation skills. Please ensure you and your group well prepared and equiped for this journey.
