Whipstick Loop Walk is a relatively easy, roughly 6-kilometre circuit through eucalypt forests and fern gullies that follows part of the Great Dividing Trail before looping down around Whipstick Creek. Along the way, you'll walk sections of hand-dug water races from the 1800s and pass the entrances to vertical and horizontal gold-mining shafts, including one safely viewable from a dedicated platform. Dogs are welcome on a lead, and if you keep your eyes open, you may spot wombats, wallabies, and echidnas along the way, as well as a wide variety of birdlife in the surrounding forest.
