Wallumarra Track, Palona Cave and Wises Track - Royal National Park

Sat 13th Sep 2025

Members Only
Day or part day

We plan to park at the start of the Wallumarra Track on Sir Bertram Stevens Drive. We’ll walk through heathland which should have an abundance of beautiful spring wildflowers. The track takes us down into the rainforest along Bola Creek then onto Lady Carrington Drive. We walk along this briefly then follow the Polona Cave Track up to the cave. We’ll then go off-track further up Polona Creek and up onto Kariani Ridge where we’ll meet a firetrail through more heathland and onto the Wises Track which will take us back to Sir Bertram Stevens Drive for a short walk back along the road to the cars. Suitable for beginners. Parking is limited and requires a valid National Park Entry Permit. Car pooling recommended.


A walk with a duration ranging from part-day to multi-day. Multi-day walks will require some form of accommodation or camping. Contact walk leader (owner) for full details.

At our club we use a grading system common to many bushwalking clubs in NSW to indicate the expected level of difficulty of a walk. See: https://www.southcoastbushwalkers.org.au/what-we-do/walk-grading

Grading information can assist you to decide if the walk is suitable for your level of fitness and experience. However, grading is subjective and must only be taken as a guide, so always ask the walk leader for advice if you are unsure about whether the walk is suitable for you.

The walk leader has full discretion in determining if members or introductory members are accepted for any walk.

See the SCBW website , "What to bring" page under "Member Information" for guidelines on what you'll need to bring. https://www.southcoastbushwalkers.org.au/member-information/what-to-bring

The Club’s ethos seeks to undertake more challenging and remote walking with a preference for Grade 4-6 walks but we also include some "Recreational Walks" (RW) which cover Grades 1-3.
