Woombye to Palmwoods Town Centres

This walk starts in Hill Street, Woombye, where there is an accessible parking bay outside a colourful toilet block. There is additional accessible parking bay in the main street (Blackall Street).

You then cross the street and turn left. Once past the shops and across another street, the path inclines. There are sections where this incline is steep, making it impassable without mechanical assistance.

The path narrows in places down to 80 cm and several kerb ramps do not offer a smooth transition with the road. This path continues in this condition for some time, until you turn onto Pine Grove Road, the track then continues and follows the gently winding Woombye Palmwoods Road, providing a mix of shaded areas beneath tall trees and more open stretches with views of the rolling hills and lush countryside.

The track is paved with a width ranging from 80cm to 3 metres in places and has a mix of flat sections with some inclines ranging from gentle to steep (some short sections, 5-10 metre are at a 20% incline), making it not suitable for wheelchairs unless motorised.

The walk takes you into the town of Palmwoods where you cross the street outside Rick's Garage. This is where the walk will end for those using a motorised wheelchair. The walk continues around the corner into Little Main Street and Piccabean Park, however this is not accessible for wheelchair users due to several steep steps.

Along the way, you'll pass through areas of natural bushland, with native flora and fauna adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The sound of birds chirping and the rustling of leaves in the breeze create a peaceful backdrop to your walk. There are occasional glimpses of local farms and rural properties, which add to the picturesque quality of the journey.

• There is an accessible parking bay at the start of the walk in Hill Street. There are also accessible parking bays along the main Street (Blackall Street).
• There is a toilet block in Hill Street at the start of the walk, however the accessible toilet is not accessible without assistance due to the type and slope of the ramp.
