Bunker Walk 3.4km Loop
Follow White Rocks
While at Possum Park why not take in the sights and enjoy walking around the 20 WWII ammunition storage bunkers.
1-8 & 10-16 are locked storage bunkers, 9 is an open bunker, 17,19,20 are accommodation, 18 is the park office. Julie and David are the owners of Possum Park.
This is a pleasant 3.4km walk that can be completed within the hour and is easily marked with white distance markers for your convenience.
Don’t forget your bottle of water, sunscreen and camera to capture some wonderful memories.
Caution, possible caravans and cars on road especially the last 1.4km back to camp.
Above Bunker Walk 3.1km Loop
Follow Red Rocks
This is the most challenging of the fire trails with lots of uneven surfaces and occasional termite mound that may have popped up overnight.
Your walk starts just behind the communal campfire following the red rocks through a newly regenerate forest to just above the bunker walk road.
You will notice a row of rocks placed beside the fire trail, please don’t cross the stone wall to the cliff edge, this is for your safety.
About 650m into your walk you will arrive at the sunset lookout on your right. Please be aware of the cliff edge while taking photos.
Continue along the fire trail following the red rocks and occasionally catching glimpses of the bunker walk road below.
Keep an eye out for kangaroos, wallabies and a collection of birds. The fire trail will follow the cliff edge and come to a clearing where water drains from the open paddock after heavy rain.
The fire trail will become narrower with more twists and turns due to the amount of trees. This is because the track was created by hand.
The fire trail will connect to the road and the last 900m of the bunker walk. Or you can cross the road and follow the track behind the dam and come out next to bunker 19. Caution not suitable in wet weather as this is the inflow into the dam.
Once on the road follow the white rocks past bunkers 17 & 18. Outside bunker 19 you should be able to see the dam, feel free to take a look and sit on the log and watch the birds.
Continue past bunker 19 & 20 back up the road to camp.
Caution, this walk follows the cliff edge with an unfenced lookout not suitable for children. Also possible caravans and cars on road especially the last 1.4km back to camp.
Forest Walk 2.7km Loop
Follow Green Rocks
This is the flattest and widest of the fire trial but does still have some uneven surfaces.
You may come across some kangaroos and wallabies early in the morning and you will always hear a selection of birds even if they are hard to spot.
You will walk through dry regenerated forest areas and on the edge of open grass plains.
Start your walk just behind the campfire following the green rocks on your right. The sunset walk branches off after about 50m to the left & above bunker walks also branch off after about 300m.
Walk through the dry forrest and a recently cleared area which you might spot the windmill to the left in the distance. This walk almost parallels the above bunker walk but with more birdlife.
Continue following the green rocks, walking opening up to open grass planes on the left and dry forest on the right. Skirting around the edge of the forest you should be able to see a windmill in the distance. (Note! Please don’t go turn left as this is the owner’s private sheds and off limits) continue straight and follow the green rocks.
The fire trail will connect to the road and the last 900m of the bunker walk. Once on the road follow the white rocks past bunkers 17 & 18. Outside bunker 19 you should be able to see the dam, feel free to take a look and sit on the log and watch the birds.
Continue past bunker 19 & 20 back up the road to camp.
Caution, possible caravans and cars on road especially the last 1.4km back to camp.
Sunset Lookout Walk 1.2km Return
Follow Yellow Rocks
This is a nice easy 600m walk to the sunset lookout. Start your walk just behind the campfire and walk along the edge of the forest on your right and open grass plains on your left.
You will cross the forest & above bunker walks to come to the lookout. Return 600m the way you came making this a 1.2km walk.
Caution this walk ends at an unfenced cliff and not suitable for children
WWII Perimeter Fence & Checkpoint Walk 400m
Follow Orange Rocks
The latest fire trail walk is just 400m long. Starting just behind the communal fire pit, follow the orange rocks.
This walk fallows the old checkpoint fence that is currently being repaired. The checkpoint was created to inspect airforce men for cigarettes and other flammables from being brought into the bunkers where the bombs were stored.
Once you cross the road the checkpoint fence joins up with the WWII 17 strand barbed wire perimeter fence. This runs 5km around the Possum Park property.
The walk ends in the unpowered camping area next to the BBQ and camp kitchen.
