Bushwalking, mountain biking and 4WD touring are some of the activities that can be enjoyed here, and for those who wish to stay a little longer there are a number of bush campsites. Keep your eye out for Wiradjuri sites, such as open camp sites, stone arrangements and axe grinding grooves while exploring.
