A 1.5km loop that should take 30 minutes to one hour, the Big Scrub loop walking track is ideal for experienced bushwalkers and school groups as it leads through superb subtropical rainforest within Nightcap National Park, near Lismore. To access this walk, you'll need to walk through shallow water across a causeway. The crossing can become impassable after or during heavy rainfall. The track can become hard to follow in places, so please follow the track markers and orange triangles to keep to the track. The weather in the area can be extreme and unpredictable, so please ensure you're well-prepared for your visit. It's a good idea to take insect repellent, particularly for repelling leeches. Remember to take your binoculars if you want to go bird watching.

How to get there;

On entering Nightcap National Park, from Dunoon:

• Take Dunoon Road north for approximately 3.6km and turn left onto Rocky Creek Dam Road
• Continue for approximately 1.5km and turn left onto unsealed Gibbergunyah Range Road
• Drive for 1km, across several cattlegrids, to the park gate.

You’ll need to walk an additional 300m from the park entry gate, as Gibbergunyah Range Road is closed to public vehicles. However, the road is accessible to walkers, cyclists and horse riders.
