Starting from Hotel Creek Road and Sugar Creek picnic area this short circuit walk in Wallingat National Park takes you close to Hotel Creek with an abundance of cabbage tree palms around. Finish the walk with a picnic before heading home. 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.
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
