Starting from the dirt car park in Mount Augustus National Park, this walk takes you on a stroll to Edney's Spring and back. The walk is culturally prominent as it allows visitors to see Aboriginal engravings (petroglyphs) along an escarpment. The trail is flat and sandy, but there can be certain uneven sections. Let us begin by acknowledging the Wajarri people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
Before you start any bushwalk ensure you;
• Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are overdue
• Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge for the whole journey
• Consider the impact of weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers
• Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point
• Are healthy and fit enough for this journey
If not, change plans and stay safe. It is okay to delay and ask people for help.
Car (You will need a 4WD vehicle to reach the car park.)
