JACKS CREEK PICNIC AREA

Public BBQ

A well-maintained picnic area in the hills near Yenda, easy to reach, with toilets, barbecues and plenty of car parking. The walking is the reason to come: a 2.4 km trail that reads harder on paper than it walks, needing only basic fitness. Enter to the left of the toilets for the gentler climb, stay on the track along the cliff face for the best views, then follow it down into a superb rocky gorge. Walk quietly and kangaroos and feral goats turn up; the birdlife includes robins and grey thrush. For a short version, ten minutes down and twenty back up reaches good lookouts. Fallen rocks and trees can make the route confusing, so watch for the wooden marker posts lying on the ground. Carry plenty of water, and expect to scrub the barbecue before you cook.
