Sculptures in the Scrub Walking Track, Timmallallie (Pilliga) National Park, NSW.


Sculptures in the Scrub Walking Track: 3 km circuit, Grade 3.

A highlight of camping at the Sculptures in the Scrub Campground is easy access to this brilliant walk showcasing aboriginal culture. We did the walk clockwise; exploring the sculptures before descending and walking along the base of Dandry Gorge.

From the gorge we were able to look up and see some of the sculptures placed to scan the landscape. Despite the dry riverbed in the gorge we spotted a fair bit of wildlife including kangaroos, lizards and emus.

There were lots of interesting things to observe. Three of my favourite curiosities being: distinctively shaped emu poo, the truly huge 8 cm Giant Burrowing Cockroaches scurrying about and a perfectly fitted out case moth.
