Hike Summary
This section of the Great North Walk starts from the Basin campsite in the Olney State Forest and winds north into the Watagans via the Warrawolong Flora Reserve. This walk also offers a side trip from Turners Road up to the top of Mt Warrawolong which is the highest point along the Great North Walk. The walk finishes at the Watagan Creek Road and gives a nice opportunity for that quiet drive in the country.
