Dawson River Walking Track
Biripi & Worimi Country
Starting from Brimbin Picnic Area, this circuit walk follows Dawson River and stops by a lookout before joining with a historic bullock route of Old Port Macquarie Road. Let us begin by acknowledging the Biripi & Worimi people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
