Ben's Walk and Hanging Rock Lookout is a 1.8 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Nowra, New South Wales, Australia that offers the chance to see wildlife and is good for all skill levels. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, and bird watching.
This would have been a lovely walk, only for a couple of things that spoilt it. Took the whole family and was fun to climb over the rocks at the end of the creek, and saw a lovely little waterfall while doing it. In the field on the other side of the suspension bridge was a car on its roof, wheels were gone and the car was trashed. On the final stretch there was a knife stabbed into a tree in the middle of the track, so I can only imagine there might be some undesirable people getting down there on occasions. Thankfully we didn’t run into any! Lots of mosquitoes so pack the repellent!
Nice easy trail, walked at a leisurely pass, finished in just under and hour. easy to do with kids and pets
Nice view to start with, remainder of the trail was pretty average, very swampy and at one stage the track was incredibly hard to follow over rocks ending up in us getting lost and having to scramble our way back
A windy day in the Shoalhaven area. Perfect for this walk. Varied scenery with gums, mangroves, a farm, suspension bridge, and a rock weir to scramble around and over. Perfect for families with picnic tables along the track.
