Great North Walk: Bumble Hill Dray Track (Greta Rd, Forest Road and Yarramalong)

5.3 km oneway

2 h 30 min to 2 h 45 min

Great North Walk: Bumble Hill Dray Track (Greta Rd, Forest Road and Yarramalong)

2 h 30 min to 2 h 45 min

This section of the Great North Walk explores a section of the historic Bumble Hill Dray track. You will walk along the edge of a ridge mostly through open, dry eucalypt forests and occasionally through moist ferny gullies as well as alongside the base of a tall rock wall. Bumble Hill Dray track was cut during the mid 1800’s to allow teams of bullocks to haul felled cedar to Mangrove Creek, where a barge would take it to Sydney. The oxen are now long gone, but this is a great way to lead into the small Yarramalong township. Let us begin by acknowledging the Awabakal people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Great North Walk: Yarramalong to Cedar Brush

10.9 km oneway

Great North Walk: Yarramalong to Cedar Brush

3 h 30 min to 5 h 15 min

Starting at the quaint Yarramalong township, this walk follows a couple of rural roads to the Cedar Brush Trackhead. This is the longest road stretch on the Great North Walk. Some people see this is a road slog and either grab a lift or power walk it, others see it as an opportunity to stroll through the country side. However you choose to undertake this section of the walk I encourage you to enjoy the valley views and soak up the vibe on the semi secluded rural valley community. Let us begin by acknowledging the Awabakal people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

Greta Road to Cedar Brush track head

Greta Road to Cedar Brush track head

5 h 30 min to 6 h 30 min

This walk follows the Great North Walk from Greta Road to the Cedar Brush track head, via the Bumble Hill Dray Track, passing by the Yarramalong General Store along the way. While most of this walk is on the road, it does provide a good, mostly level bushwalk and a great stroll along a quiet country road, through a pleasant rural community. The Yarramalong general store is a great place to stop for lunch. Yarramalong is worth exploring, and the historic church is worth a look.

Yarramalong to Basin Campsite

5 h 30 min to 2 days

Starting at the quaint Yarramalong township, this walk follows a couple of rural roads to the Cedar Brush Trackhead. This is the longest road stretch on the Great North Walk. Some people see this is a road slog and either grab a lift or power walk it, others see it as an opportunity to stroll through the country side. However you choose to undertake this section of the walk, I encourage you to enjoy the valley views and soak up the vibe on the semi secluded rural valley community. The section along the Lyrebird Trail by the Wollombi Brook is particularly recommended. From the Cedar Brush track head, the walk winds up into the Olney State Forest through bushland (crossing over two moist gullies). Once most of your height is gained, this walk follows unsealed road before dropping down into the Wollombi Brook gully. From here, the walk follows bush tracks along Lyrebird Trail and to the Basin Campsite. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
