Overview
Uloola Track runs through the park's western sandstone plateau, passing creeks, rock formations and open forest before reaching Uloola Falls. It is a shared-use track — expect mountain bikers, especially on weekends.
Most hikers arrange a car shuffle or return the same way. The one-way distance is about 11 km; allow most of a day with breaks. Sections can get boggy after heavy rain — spring wildflowers reward dry-weather visits.
What to expect
- Sandstone outcrops and creek crossings (after rain, creeks may rise)
- Uloola Falls — best after recent rainfall
- Uloola Falls campground nearby for overnight trips
- Shared track — stay alert for cyclists on descents
