Tallowwood to Summer Falls camp

Starting from Tallowwood walkers’ camp, Kenilworth, this walk takes you to the Summer Falls campsite via the third section of the 56 km long Conondale Range Great Walk track. Home to many nocturnal animals such as mountain brushtail possums and microbats, this part of the track also has many items left from the forestry era. The logging arch near the start and the trees labeled ‘photo’ are some of them. The said trees were marked to measure how much they regrew after being cut. Additionally, you can visit Peters Falls with a side trip for a nice change of scenery. Take care when crossing Sunday Creek Road. 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.
