Buurree Walking Trail
- 1-2 Hours
- 3.7km
- Grade 2
Named after the Wiradjuri word for wattle the Buurree Walking Trail is situated in the Wattle Flat Heritage Lands North. This is an area of open woodland bush close to the gold mining township of Wattle Flat.
Following yellow triangles from tree to tree the circular track goes uphill to a ridgeline with lovely views towards Sofala and the Turon Valley. Leisurely walking the track will take approximately 2 hours but can be completed quicker. This walk can appeal to children as they enjoy the challenge of spotting the yellow markers and kangaroos throughout the track. The walk can be combined with a wander around the Wattle Flat township where some of the buildings date back to the 1860s.
