Christmas Rock Walk

The two and a half kilometre walk commences just north of the Wongan Hills Caravan Park at the sign on Wandoo Crescent. It is a lovely walk to a granite outcrop used for water catchment for the Wongan Hills railway dam which supplements the town water supply during peak demand. The catchment has cemented rock walls to direct the water and improve the catchment.

It is an interesting nature walk in winter and spring with the birds, lizards and an abundance of wildflowers. The wattles and white myrtles are flowering beautifully during this time, while many other species are about to bloom. Spring generally brings a colourful array of orchids.

It is a leisurely walk taking 30 to 40 minutes approximately, return trip. It is well marked as a walk trail, and definitely worth taking your camera and allowing time to wander over the rock to enjoy the scenery and relax with a picnic.
