Patonga to Wondabyne Station via Mt Wondabyne (GNW)

New South Wales

This walk explores some grand views, pleasant cascades, varied bushland and remote areas of Brisbane Waters National Park. From Patonga you will walk up the ridge and take a short side trip to enjoy the wonderful views from Warrah Lookout, before following a series of dirt roads and management trails to Patonga Creek in the heart of the national park. The walk then leads along a mix of trails and tracks mostly passing Mt Wondabyne, a worthwhile side trip, before crossing a few gullies with cool creeks and cascades. Past Myron Brook you will walk back down the waters edge at the remote and unique Wondabyne Train Station.

Comments

Great views and rock shelves. The swimming hole and waterfall towards the end is a good place to cool off. Past the waterfall the ascent seems to just keep going! I recommend doing this walk on a day that's not too hot. Wondabyne Train has a beautiful setting.
