Comments

We did the multi use trail to white rock and came back via the Ridge track, was approx 8km on gps. First part very easy along a sandy track until you get closer to white rock where the trail narrows but still well defined. White rock itself is pretty cool and worth having a look. The first section of the Ridge track on the way back involved scrambling up some boulders but the rest of the track wasn't difficult and well defined. Signage is good. When we went the area was a bit stinky (sewerage maybe?) which made the walk not as enjoyable as it would have been otherwise.

Nice hike had some good views

Started when the gates opened. A great and relatively easy walk. A few parts had loose sand to walk through but other than that the path was prominent and clearly marked with arrows.

Taking the long way to White Rock (not the steps) you’ll pass a big rock you can climb to see the views without climbing White Rock itself.

Easy, could run it if we wanted to!

Very easy walking, but not a whole lot to see. I definitely have a preference for the ridge hike.

Tanya on 16 Aug, 2017

Enjoyed it, the rock is certainly something to see. Recommend combining with the ridge hike as per other comments.

Didn't get lost this time!

My first ever 'hike' and also first time at White Rock, I got lost trying to do the 'loop' after taking the stairs. Ended up going back the way I came. Very busy track.

The walk itself is pleasant but not thrilling. The rock formation is definitely worth seeing though. Apparently some people climb it, although the indigenous caretakers request that you don't.

Not a difficult walk, some may find this trail tedious, I didn't mind it and the end result is definitely worth it. The rock formation and the view is stunning. Tip: Bring insect repellent. If you're interested we made a short YouTube video covering the hike.

Was a nice walk even if fairly tame for the most part. The climb upto and around the rock was worth it. Great for most level of walkers.

Easy walk. Beautiful rock formations at the top with lovely views from the ridge.

Pleasant walk back from White Rock. Did in conjunction with the Ridge Hike

Samuel Armstrong on 18 Feb, 2017

Lots of kangaroos.. and a red bellied black snake which added to a good walk

The walk to the rock is a bit boring but when you get there there's only one thing on your rind, climbing the rock. We're not meant to, but let's face it, we all do. Great views from the top.

A very good trail run with the incline towards white rock quite challenging. Loop around the rock and you will meet back up with the trail where you turn off left to go up to the rock on the way there. I take the little white rock lookout trail on the way back before finishing off the run back at the car park. Just over 7km if you do it that way.

I avoid this track as it's rather boring and do the ridge hike every time instead.
