Bundanoon Discovery Rambles

CLower Gullies Walk (8)                          1 ½ hours                         Medium – short steep hill

Walk straight ahead from the railway station into Church St and continue down ‘Constitution Hill’, where Church St becomes Gullies Rd. Turn right through a gate onto Lower Gullies Fire Trail and walk through attractive bushland. Go down a steep track across a pretty creek. As you cross the creek, on the right is an old swimming hole. Climb up the other side and walk to a locked gate. Retrace your steps back to Gullies Road. Follow Gullies Rd around to the left onto the gravel section of the road. Follow this around until it rejoins Church St. Turn left and walk back to the Railway Station.

Bundanoon Discovery Rambles

Bundanoon Discovery Rambles are a series of eight walks designed to reveal some of Bundanoon’s hidden delights – the homes of its earliest settlers, its oldest commercial buildings, its pioneer graves, its quaint lanes and bush tracks. Along the way you’ll pass beautiful gardens, rolling farmland, and unspoilt bushland – and catch glimpses of rugged sandstone escarpments. You’ll also see abundant wildlife – particularly kangaroos and birds.

The walks are intended to be a softer option to the many excellent bushwalks in the Bundanoon section of Morton National Park and, unlike the national park walks, dogs can enjoy all but one. The walks start and finish at the railway station in the village centre, where there are several refreshment options.

Ranging in length from 25 minutes to two hours, the walks cater for all ages and all levels of fitness. Do one at a time or link several to fill a day or more.

The walks were devised by The Green Team, one of the Sub-Committees of the Bundanoon Community Association – volunteers who work to make Bundanoon even more beautiful.

All walks start and finish at the Bundanoon railway station. Please keep to paths and respect private property. Please take your litter home and keep your dog under control. Carry water on longer walks; a filtered water bubbler is available at the bus shelter near the station and near the Post Office across from the station.

A map of bike trails is also available from the Visitors Centre.
