It doesn’t matter how experienced you are on a mountain bike – Wallingat National Park has something to suit every level. A great place to start for people with moderate experience can be found at Southern Boundary trail.
This relatively flat track starts at Gur-um-bee picnic area, following Sugar Creek Road onto Southern Boundary trail before turning onto Thomas Road back to Gur-um-bee. It winds through tall eucalyptus forest and cabbage tree palms that are popular with native birds, so be sure to pack a camera.
The picnic spot features a shelter shed with information about the park, as well as basic picnic facilities, where you can enjoy lunch after exploring the forest. Adventurous cyclists can try the steep terrain around No Return trail, Reedy Creek trail, or Whoota Lookout Road. Visitors looking for a good multi-use trail can try Double Wharf trail.
