Starting from Stony Creek Campground, Bellfield, this return walk takes you to Tower Hill and back, visiting Calectasia Falls. It is a lightly trafficked walk with diverse fauna and ancient rock formations. You can visit Calectasia Falls and even have a dip if you have spare time. The area is not visited often, so the track might not be clear in certain sections. The bush setting can be longer as well, so you might want to wear hiking pants or sweatpants that cover your legs. 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.
