Walk: Easy

Used as an Aboriginal Gathering Place for 14,000 years the Kings Tableland Walk goes through one of the most historically important areas in the Blue Mountains. Along the escarpment through dry scrub this is a living demonstration of the surviving nature of the Australian Bushland. A short trip out to Rocket Point caps off this walk with fantastic views of Wentworth Falls.
