Hike summary

An extended version of the Rumbalara Reserve Rainforest Walk. After walking through some beautiful pockets of rainforest this walk continues to the upper section of the reserve enjoying some great views across Gosford and the surrounding areas. The sheer variety in the vegetation from the start of this walk to the end makes it even more interesting. Parts of the track are quite steep although the well-formed track with plenty of steps makes the walking easier. This walk also takes you past three of the four Rumbalara bronze sculptures. Plenty of variety and a beautiful walk. Note that the entrance gate on Dolly Ave for the upper section of Rumbalara is locked at 8pm each evening.
