Starting from the car park at the end of the Bob Turners Fire Trail off Putty Road, Colo Heights, this walk takes you to the Colo River and back via the Bob Turners Walking Track. This moderately challenging walk begins from the end of the Bob Turners Fire Trail, a signposted dirt road branching off from Putty Road, and leads to the banks of the Colo River, which flows through the heart of Wollemi National Park. The walk winds down a series of ridges, passing through several densely vegetated gullies dominated by smooth-barked apple, grey ironbark and Burrawang trees. After some steep zig-zags, the walk eventually emerges onto a small sandy beach on the banks of the Colo River, at the junction with Hungryway Creek, where there's a lovely swimming hole and camping spot. If time allows, walkers can cool off with a swim and explore further along the river banks before returning to the car park. This walk consists of narrow walking trails with uneven natural surfaces, compacted natural surfaces, short steep hills and steps. Suitable for average fitness levels. 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.
