Shelley Harris Track (Kinglake National Park)

Shelley Harris track is a beautiful walk in a tall, wet, mountainous forest of mountain ash trees and tree ferns. It offers great views across towards the Yarra Valley and the Bunjil Cascades.

The 4.8km return walk from the Jehosaphat Gully Picnic Area can be a starting point for longer walks through the Everard Block of Kinglake National Park.

For a more relaxing experience, enjoy a picnic or barbecue with family and friends at Jehosaphat Gully Picnic Area. Wheelchair-accessible toilets, picnic tables, shelters, and free electric barbecues are available. No bins are provided, so please take your rubbish home with you.

Visitor Tips: The track is not suitable for prams and wheelchairs. It may be slippery in wet conditions, and trees and branches may fall across the track during strong winds.

No drinking water is available in the park. Please bring all the water you need for your visit. For longer walks we recommend at least 2 litres per person.

The area is highly forested and we do not recommend bushwalking on days of higher fire danger or when storms or high winds are forecast.

Kinglake National Park is in the Central Fire District. Bushfire safety is a personal responsibility. Anyone entering parks and forests during the bushfire season needs to stay aware of forecast weather conditions. Check the Fire Danger Rating and for days of Total Fire Ban at emergency.vic.gov.au www.emergency.vic.gov.au, on the VicEmergency smartphone app or call the VicEmergency Hotline on 1800 226 226.

No fires may be lit on Total Fire Ban days.
