This return walk is perfect for families and visitors wanting an easier climb to the top of Bald Rock. While it is longer than Bald Rock Summit walk, it avoids the steep section of the rockface.

Starting at Bald Rock campground and picnic area, Bungoona walk winds past granite boulders and gumtrees for 2.2km. There’s lots of wildlife to spot along the way. Keep your eyes peeled for jacky lizards basking on granite formations and listen out for the distinctive superb lyrebird song.

The last 600m of the track takes you up to the summit of Bald Rock. Once you reach the top of the spectacular water-streaked dome, you’ll be rewarded with expansive views of the landscape below. If you’re up for an adventure, you can follow Bald Rock Summit walk back down the rockface. Otherwise, return the way you came.

Granite country is known for its abundant wildflower displays. If you visit during spring, you’ll be rewarded with colourful everlasting daisies, native bluebells and flannel flowers. Ferns and rock orchids also adorn the boulders, nestling themselves into tiny cracks and crevices.

For visitors with young children or limited mobility, the accessible Bald Rock base walk is a great way to experience this awesome landscape.
