Rocky Creek Dam circuit and sit by the lake

Rocky Creek Dam circuit incorporating the Big Scrub loop. This is a fantastic and varied rainforest walk, most of it on tracks within Nightcap NP, with two creek crossings and calming lake views. The Big Scrub loop offers a feel of how it might have been before settlers with fig trees, giant stinging trees and yellow carabeen towering above and a delightful flowing creek to sit by. We will walk along part of Gibbergunyah Range Road (now a wide track) and then through a grove of the giant Eucalyptus grandis, “Flooded gum" on our return to the dam.

We will walk in silence for periods, and I’ll offer a few nature connection activities along the way. We have time to chat beforehand and at the end when we relax by the lake with our tired legs for tea. The distance is about 9 km. Grade 3.
