Goanna Walking Track

Couple walking dog along walking track

This is a very enjoyable walk on the south side of the Murrumbidgee River. The track was developed in close consultation with Aboriginal elders. It starts at Fig Tree Park and meanders for 1.8 km beside the river through red river gum and black box forests.

It finishes at the clay banks, known by the locals as the 'Bunyip Hole'. The bunyip is an mythological aboriginal creature who lives in deep water. It resembles a large black hairy dog with long pointy ears, big teeth and a loud howl. Keep an eye out for it!

At the end of the walk is a meeting place with a native garden, red gum table and seats. These were made to commemorate the significance of the Wiradjuri connection with the river and out of respect for the Aboriginal elders.

You'll see signs along the way about our local flora, fauna and history.
