Sightseeing
This beautiful loop walk passes through a great variety of forest scenery, including some lovely rainforest, dominated by cabbage palms and other trees. There are some beautiful views across Tuggerah Lake, and parts of the track feature twisted Sydney Redgums leaning over the track, and the shorter palm-like Burrawang (a species of cycad). Much of the walk is on sandy tracks, with sections of timber boarding to control erosion. Let us begin by acknowledging the Darkinjung & Guringai people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

3.5 KM loop each - 1 hr
The walks are easy. The loops merge, so you can walk both if you want. You get glimpses of Tuggerah Lake and walk-through distinct forests. From the car park on the Central Coast Hwy, aka Wilfred Barret Dr (about 5.5 km north of The Entrance bridge, and about 4.6km south of the intersection with Main Rd, Noraville. Signposted 'Wyrrabalong National Park'), the walk goes around a gate, passes an information board and 'Lilly Pilly Loop Trail' sign, and follows the management trail up the hill. The trail soon bends to the left and arrives at an intersection, marked with a 'Lilly Pilly Loop Link Trail' sign.
The Red Gum trail sits amid splendid Sydney red gums. This red gum forest is also the largest stand remaining on the Central Coast.
The trail first follows the road then heads deeper into the forest toward Tuggerah Lake. Follow the Red Gum Trail signs.

Plenty of parking and great space for picnics. Picnic tables nearby overlooking tranquillity.
