Starting from Station Creek campground this circuit walk leads along Station Creek through corkwood and scribbly gum forest. Stop by the lookouts and take the Scribbly Gum Walk side trip to the creek for some coastal views. Let us begin by acknowledging the Gumbaynggirr people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
