Newbys Creek Walk and Caves

This short return walk in Coorabakh National Park leads to a scenic cave with a large overhanging rock that creates a natural shelter above the Newbys Creek. Let us begin by acknowledging the Biripi & Worimi people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
