Tower Hill

Starting from Stony Creek Campground, Bellfield, this return walk takes you to Tower Hill and back, visiting Calectasia Falls. It is a lightly trafficked walk with diverse fauna and ancient rock formations. You can visit Calectasia Falls and even have a dip if you have spare time. The area is not visited often, so the track might not be clear in certain sections. The bush setting can be longer as well, so you might want to wear hiking pants or sweatpants that cover your legs. 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.
