Starting from Sundial Car Park, Bellfield, this walk takes you on a circuit around the area, visiting Lakeview Lookout. You can have the best of both worlds with layers of amazing sandstones that seem impossible through the walk and with the amazing scenery of Mount William Range and Lake Bellfield. The trail is relatively short, but slippery rock formations can be sharp, so you might want to have grippy running shoes or hiking shoes. Additionally, wildflower observation is possible during spring for the enthusiasts. The texture also differs in certain sections, from sand to hard rock formations. You can also bring extra water during the hot season. 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.
