Sunrise Walking Track Complex (Warby-Ovens National Park)

This complex of walking tracks offers multiple options and loops ranging from 2km to 6km and from moderate (Grade 3) to hard (Grade 4), including a 1.5km return walk leading to the quarry where granite was obtained to build the Anglican Cathedral in Wangaratta.

Popular with locals, the walks start at Sunrise Carpark at the end of Delloro Road and climb up the plateau to the west. During spring a variety of wildflowers can be seen here. Consult the map at the start and then follow the directional signage for your chosen route. Allow 1 to 3 hours, depending on your route.

Visitor Tips: some of the tracks are steep in places with many steps. A reasonable level of fitness and bushwalking experience is recommended. Wear sturdy footwear and carry plenty of water, especially in hot weather.
