Map
Dalrymple Circuit is a beautiful little bushwalk, adjacent to Manna Gum camping area, that follows Dalrymple Creek. Strategically placed seating, with views of the creek, makes this is a track to pause and reflect as you go.
Taking the path clockwise, the first half of the circuit follows Dalrymple Creek. Boardwalks and viewing platforms make this a very relaxed and easy bushwalk.
After rain this creek would be spectacular, however rain would make the adjoining Cascades Circuit very tricky to navigate; as it involves numerous creek crossings.
Dalrymple Circuit is ideal for families with little people, with opportunities to explore and try out rock hopping.
The last quarter of the circuit is a shared trail, designed to accommodate vehicles.
Dalrymple Circuit is a lovely warmup the the adjoining 6.5km Cascades Circuit - the prettiest track in the Goomburra Section of Main Range National Park.
