Explore along the banks of Bald Rock Creek, with its cool, dark waters fringed by flowering shrubs that attract honeyeaters and parrots. Rest and dip your toes into a rock pool while you spot superb fairy-wrens, red-browed firetails and thornbills searching the creek-bank thickets for insects.

Cool off with a refreshing dip at one of the many rock holes located near The Junction. During the dry season the creeks may not run, but the landscape and vibrant wildlife still make the walk worthwhile. In spring, the trail is scattered with spectacular displays of colourful wildflowers.
