Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or long60 Best walks | This is one of the NPA's 60 best walks.Photography | A trip that has a strong focus on encouraging people to capture photographs.The broad swamp to Birds rock walking trail is a 17kms new track which is part of the 30kms Gardens of Stone SCA walking trail which is due to be finished before the end of this decade.I was planning on doing this section one way but unfortunately the Broad Swamp section with the carpark is closed until just after Easter, whilst new facilities are being established.So instead im doing the more spectacular section of this trail starting from Birds Rock and including Hippo rock and the stunning Carne creek lookout and nearby pagodas.Basically we will experience the best section of this track so you wont be disappointed. However,if there is a miracle and the infrastructure is finished by Easter,then the original plan of walking from Broad Swamp to Birds rock will still stand.But i doubt it!

Walk | A bushwalk of any kind short or long60 Best walks | This is one of the NPA's 60 best walks.Photography | A trip that has a strong focus on encouraging people to capture photographs.A walk with history and lots of pagodas and stunning views! We start our hike along the Tramway trail, passing various old miners dwellings now being overtaken by nature and head west until the trail ends and we then follow the ridge along to Blacks Corner.
