Timeline
09:00
Arrive at Kings Plains National Park. The campground and picnic areas are the best base for exploring. Since there is no mobile phone signal, ensure you have your own drinking water, cooking water, and firewood before you arrive. The entry is free, but bookings are required if you plan to camp overnight.
10:00
Head out for a bushwalk. The park offers excellent trails through the bush. Look for the ephemeral waterfalls that form after rain. Spend an hour or two exploring the tracks and enjoying the natural scenery.
11:00
Take a break for lunch. Use the picnic tables and barbecue facilities available in the park. Remember to bring your own food and water as there are no shops or cafes within the park boundaries.
12:00
If the weather is warm, take a swim in the creek or waterfalls. The water is natural and unfiltered, so check conditions before entering. After your swim, use the toilets and facilities before packing up.
