Discover Bundanoon

Bundanoon offers several distinct reasons to stay: walks in Morton National Park, an evening visit to Glow Worm Glen, a cycling route to picnic spots and lookouts, and events in town. You can plan your trip around whether you mainly want to spend time outdoors or experience Bundanoon during a special event. Each option has its own focus and gives you specific points to help with planning.

Walking trails and destinations in Morton National Park

One destination for walkers is Fairy Bower Falls in Morton National Park, Bundanoon. The loop walk takes one hour and is rated moderate to steep. It starts either at Gambells Rest Picnic Area or at Fairy Bower Car Park. The stated duration and rating can help you plan this walk into your day; the two starting points give you a choice of where to begin. If you’re making a walk the centrepiece of your outing, you can factor these details into your plans.

Glow Worm Glen is an evening destination. You should begin the descent to the glen at sunset, making the time of day an important part of the visit. On the Garland Road Reserve (Glow Worm Glen Track), you may be lucky enough to see glowing fungi on trees. The Erith Coal Mine Track is another walking option in Bundanoon, adding to the selection for travellers interested in exploring more trails.

If you prefer cycling, there’s another way to experience the area: the Bundanoon cycling route leads to picnic spots and rewarding lookouts. You can consider this outing as a cycling option alongside the walking trails. This gives you a choice of different activities without requiring each one to follow the same kind of day.

Gardens and Highland tradition

At the Bundanoon Garden Ramble, visitors can tour eight beautiful gardens; the Ramble also includes market stalls. The visit is therefore not just about the gardens, but also includes stalls as part of the event. If you prefer an outing with a variety of experiences, this event offers a different focus from the trails in the national park.

Brigadoon is an authentic Highland Gathering event on Bundanoon’s calendar. It takes place every April and draws thousands of people to the small village. So if this event is the main reason for your trip, April is the relevant time to visit. Brigadoon differs from the nature trails and the Garden Ramble as a recurring event with its own Highland Gathering character.
