Hike overview
This moderately challenging walk in Conimbla National Park runs between Ironbark picnic area and Wallaby picnic area, so you can enjoy a picnic in a lovely and scenic spot if you desire.
Along the way, be sure to keep an eye out for the track's namesake; the wallabies and kangaroos are often seen throughout the day. At night, the track makes a perfect spotlighting route to search for possums and gliders out on a nocturnal prowl.
The walk passes through a range of forest types, featuring stands of ironbark and scribbly gum as well as sections of stringybark. Still feeling energetic? Try the longer Ironbark walking track nearby.
Tips
The weather in this area can be extreme and unpredictable, so please ensure you're well-prepared for your visit.
