  • There are some dry creek crossings to navigate. 
  • If you continue past the end of the walkway to the stone amphitheatre, this is another 4km return on an unformed walkway. Allow another 1.5 to 2.5 hours for this extension. This extension is advised for experienced walkers only.

Store Creek walking track starts and finishes at Store Creek picnic area, where there are toilets, a gas barbecue and a carpark. Follow Store Creek through open woodland and up into a rocky gorge.  Meander through bimble box wonderland and marvel at the colours of the steep rocky cliffs.

Bring your binoculars and camera if you like to birdwatch. Beautiful woodland birds like turquoise parrots, dusky woodswallows and speckled warblers live here. You can see butterflies in shady areas like the common brown. For wildflowers, visit in late winter to late spring to enjoy the tufted bluebell, pink finger orchid and golden everlasting. 

Experienced walkers can continue for another 2km past the end of the walking track along Store Creek to reach an impressive natural stone amphitheatre. This walk goes along the side of the creek and is not on a formed walking track. It involves scrambling up some small rock ledges.
