This track could be like any other servicetrail walk until reaching the end of the servicetrail and the start of the bushtrack. With great views and a rough bushtrack going down the hill this track suddenly becomes a lot more interesting. Once reaching Bola Creek the winding bushtrack goes next to the creek through a dark forest until meeting up with Lady Carrington Dr.

Bushwalking can be fun and interesting when you are well prepared. Please ensure you and your group are well prepared and equipped for all possible dangers.

(0 km) Int. Walumarra Trk and Sir Bertram Stevens Drive to Garie Hill
Track: Moderate - Service Trail
Distance = 0.2 km Time = 4 mins
Climb = 7 m Descent = 0 m
From the intersection the track heads north west along the dark gravel. The track quickly turns left and after approximately 50m the track turns from the dark gravel to yellow sand. The track soon passes an old trig point on the left to continue north west for approximately 30m to the intersection.

(0.25 km) Garie Hill to Bee Hives
Optional Side Trip: Track: Moderate - Service Trail
Distance = 0.2 km Time = 3 mins
Climb = 0 m Descent = -11 m
From the intersection the track heads north for approximately 100m down the overgrown track. The track passes through the vegetation to a grassed opening with bee hives.

(0.25 km) Garie Hill to End of Walumurra Service Trail
Track: Moderate - Service Trail
Distance = 2.2 km Time = 35 mins
Climb = 16 m Descent = -68 m
From the intersection the track heads north west over a speed bump on the track. The track swings right through moderately dense vegetation for approximately 40m to an open short bush area. The track continues down the hill for approximately 300m to turn left. The track continues in a southerly direction for approximately 200m to turn right down the hill. The track heads down the hill to where it flatterns out. After approximately 1km of flat, the track enters a clearing on the left, the end of the service trail.

(2.5 km) End of Wallumarara Servicetrail to Int of Lady Carrington Drive and Wallamarra Bushtrack
Track: Moderate - Bush Track
Distance = 1.3 km Time = 40 mins
Climb = 29 m Descent = -171 m
From the end of the Wallumarra Servicetrail the track heads west for approximately 200m along the bushtrack until the track opens out and it is possible to see the valley below. From here the track begins to steeply descend the hill and as such rock stairs have been used to make the walking easier. As the track nears the bottom it flattens out slightly and continues down the hill until reaching Bola Creek. At this point the track track turns sharply to the north and continues along the creek bank. After a short period the track crosses a small tributary of Bola Creek. Continuing along the track there are several sections that have been boardwalked and this make the walking much easier. After the boardwalk is finished the track continues beside the creek until coming to a well-marked crossing. On the other side the track goes slightly up along the well managed bushtrack for approximately 100m until coming to an intersection with a servicetrail. This is signposted as the 'Wallumarra Track'.

Track: Moderate - Service Trail
Distance = 0.7 km Time = 10 mins

From the intersection the track heads south along the servicetrail. During this section there are several small rises and falls in the trail. This continues until coming to a large set of stone gates and a carpark on Sir Bertram Stevens Rd.
