Information

Donna Cave to Balancing Rock Walking Track. 2km return Grade 3. This track meanders through open woodland of eucalypts and ironwoods. Look out for wallaroos or agile wallabies resting in the shade and listen for the ‘laughing’ calls of blue-winged kookaburras. Climb a rough track for a great photo of Balancing Rock— a spectacular limestone outcrop. Enjoy views of the surrounding open woodlands as you catch your breath.

Continue on to Royal Arch Track (Grade 3) which is an easy ramble through open woodland, past the Wullumba art site, and cross the paperbark-lined Chillagoe Creek. Look for the Royal Arch bluff, an imposing jagged limestone outcrop, rising abruptly from the landscape.
