KENGAL PICNIC AREA

Public BBQ

This rugged recreation area serves as the gateway to The Rock's extensive walking track network, where families can tackle everything from easy strolls to challenging hikes across surprisingly rocky terrain. The well-maintained picnic facilities include a sheltered barbecue area with ample seating, proper flush toilets (including disability-accessible facilities), and informative signage about local wildlife and indigenous heritage. Wallabies frequently make appearances along the trails, rewarding hikers with memorable wildlife encounters and spectacular views. The spacious carpark accommodates the weekend crowds and school holiday visitors who flock here for outdoor adventures. One practical note: bring insect repellent during warmer months, as the local flies can be particularly persistent. Pack water for summer hikes and wear sturdy footwear - the rocky underfoot conditions demand respect, though it's remarkable how much vegetation thrives in this harsh landscape.
