The Bucketts Scenic Walk is a hidden gem and it begins just a few kms from Barrington Hideaway.

You access the start of the trail via Bucketts Rd which is off Thunderbolts Way just after the bridge as you leave Gloucester.

After an initial steep ascent through a paddock you are amongst Ferns, Orchids and Grass Tress. A scramble over the granite outcrops brings you to some special views over the fertile farm land below.

Wildlife in the area includes the Wallaroo, Red-necked Wallaby, Burtons Lizard, Peregrine Falcons and the iconic Wedgetailed Eagle.

The path is easy to follow and it leads you to many “lookout” spots. A complete loop will take you less than 2 hrs, it is best when there is low light in the morning or afternoon.
