This walk is a good exploration of the quite rugged Wungong Brook Gorge area which lies within the 4100 ha Wungong Regional Park (part of the former ‘Darling Range Regional Park’ system). The Gorge has been formed by the Wungong Brook eroding about 200m into the granite bedrock as it crosses the western edge of the Darling Range. The walk includes three energetic, but well-separated climbs out of, and back into the Gorge area (each climb approx. 150-200m). This provides for lots of great views along the Gorge and across the Swan Coastal Plain from both the north and south sides. Short sections of the route also lie along the southern edge of the Bungendore Park reserve (now included in the Wungong Regional Park) which covers a broad, forested lateritic plateau immediately north of the Gorge. The walk also includes about 3 kms of easy walking along a section of a wide track which follows the Brook through the Gorge from near the Wungong Dam to the South Western Hwy.

Note: The full walk is quite challenging even for experienced walkers, but various shorter and easier walk options can be selected by the less fit or less experienced walker.
