About
Part of the Great North walk that stretches 250 kilometres from Newcastle to Sydney, the Yuelarbah walking track is one of the highlights of Glenrock State Conservation Area.
Commencing at the wheelchair accessible raised boardwalk, the scenic track leads you along Flaggy Creek, through wet gullies and coastal rainforest, and if that's not enough, you'll pass two waterfalls before finishing at Glenrock Beach.
About halfway along you’ll find Leichhardt’s lookout which offers excellent views over Glenrock Lagoon. It’s a great option for a day walk, and be sure you take a picnic lunch with you; there are a few great spots to stop for a break along the walk, including the picnic area at Flaggy Creek and the beach or headlands of Glenrock Beach.

A beautiful walk through nature to see the ocean and lagoon. 2 hours 30 mins with a stop for a snack and to admire the view. Part of the Great North walk.

Super quiet and peaceful spot! The track, rainforest, creek, sand, birdsong, waterfall and rocks are all beautiful. Definitely a must-visit in Newy.

A very easy walk to Glenrock beach. It was dry and busy when we visited in late December. Quite a bit of shade and minimal stairs/ ascents/ descents. Duckboards on track in some parts indicate it could get muddy after decent rain. This track is walkers only. Some track in the area have mountain bikes.
